Boulder, Colorado, is a town that knows how to celebrate. As the holiday season unfolds, the city transforms into a vibrant tapestry of events. From cozy teas to lively concerts, there’s something for everyone. This December, the calendar is packed with activities that invite residents and visitors alike to embrace the festive spirit.

Start your day with a touch of elegance at the Holiday Tea hosted by Hotel Boulderado. Set in the historic Mezzanine, this tea service is a feast for the senses. Imagine sipping on fragrant teas while indulging in a selection of pastries and savory sandwiches. The ambiance is enchanting, with the hotel’s stunning stained glass canopy casting colorful reflections. It’s not just tea; it’s a tradition waiting to be born.

For those who prefer a more cerebral experience, the History Book Club at the Boulder Public Library offers a chance to dive into the past. Here, members gather to discuss historical writings that shape our understanding of the world. It’s a gathering of minds, where ideas flow as freely as the coffee. The topics are diverse, reflecting the complexities of history and its relevance today.

As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts. Sanitas Brewing Company invites you to “Skip the Small Talk.” This event is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with superficial chatter. With question prompts to ignite meaningful conversations, it’s a space where strangers become friends. For a small fee, you can engage in discussions that linger long after the night ends.

If you’re in the mood for some holiday cheer, don’t miss the Ugly Sweater Party at The Velvet Elk Lounge. This event promises a night of laughter and camaraderie, all while sporting your most outrageous holiday attire. The 80s-themed atmosphere adds a playful twist, making it a perfect outing for friends and family. Plus, your participation supports local nonprofit KGNU, turning fun into philanthropy.

For those who appreciate the arts, the Holiday Market at The Studio is a treasure trove of local creativity. Here, artisans showcase their handmade goods, from unique jewelry to stunning artwork. It’s a chance to find one-of-a-kind gifts while enjoying complimentary refreshments. Shopping becomes an experience, not just a chore.

As the week progresses, the events keep coming. The Boulder Book Store hosts a book signing for “Grief in the Fourth Dimension.” This intimate gathering allows readers to connect with the author and explore themes of loss and healing. It’s a reminder that literature can be a powerful tool for understanding our emotions.

Film lovers can gather for Thursday Night Cinema at the Boulder Public Library. This week’s feature is the classic “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” A blend of animation and live-action, it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane. With free snacks and drinks, it’s a cozy way to unwind and enjoy a beloved film.

The week also brings the Face Vocal Band’s “Joy to the World” concert at Nissi’s. This annual holiday show is a musical delight, blending humor and holiday classics. Picture a stage filled with talented performers, harmonizing tunes that evoke the warmth of the season. It’s a celebration that promises to lift spirits and spread joy.

For those looking to support local artists, the Clinica Art, Jewelry, and Gift Sale is a must-visit. This event showcases handmade crafts and artwork, allowing you to find unique gifts while supporting the community. Every purchase helps local artists thrive, making it a win-win for everyone involved.

The week wraps up with an Open Mic Poetry Night at Weathervane Apartments. This event is a platform for voices to be heard, where creativity flourishes in a supportive environment. It’s a celebration of expression, inviting all ages to share their words.
