Boulder, Colorado, is a city that thrives on creativity and community. As June unfolds, the city buzzes with events that cater to diverse interests. From comedy to history, music to literature, Boulder offers a rich tapestry of experiences. This week, the spotlight shines on several key events that promise to engage and inspire.
The Boulder Comedy Festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 25, at Junkyard Social. This festival is not just a showcase of humor; it’s a celebration of diversity in comedy. Nationally touring comics join local talents to create a vibrant atmosphere of laughter. Tickets are priced at $30, making it an accessible night of entertainment. Comedy is a universal language, and Boulder is fluent.
On Thursday, the Carnegie Branch Library hosts a talk titled "Boulder History is LGBTQ+ History." This event invites attendees to reflect on the intertwined narratives of LGBTQ+ history and Boulder’s past. It’s a reminder that history is not just dates and events; it’s about people and their stories. The talk begins at 5 p.m., offering a chance to engage with the community and honor shared experiences.
Later that evening, the Summer Concert Series with the Boulder Symphony takes center stage at the Sunrise Amphitheater. Picture this: yoga under the open sky, accompanied by the soothing sounds of a symphony. It’s a blend of relaxation and culture, a perfect way to unwind. Tickets range from $50 to $70, a small price for a night of harmony and peace.
For film enthusiasts, the Boulder Public Library presents a screening of “BPM (Beats Per Minute)” at 6:30 p.m. This powerful film dives into the world of the ACT UP movement in the 1990s. It’s a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by those living with HIV/AIDS. The film is not just a story; it’s a call to action. Free snacks and soft drinks will be provided, making it a cozy evening of cinema and conversation.
If literature is your passion, don’t miss the book signing event for "The Everywhere Classroom" at Boulder Book Store. Author Andi Almond shares her journey of worldschooling, blending travel with education. This event starts at 6:30 p.m. and costs $5. It’s an opportunity to explore new ideas about learning and adventure. Books are gateways to new worlds, and this one promises to be enlightening.
For families, the Boulder Public Library offers "Wobblers & Walkers" at 11:15 a.m. on Thursday. This program is designed for toddlers and their caregivers, focusing on language and early childhood development. It’s a nurturing space where little ones can explore through songs, rhymes, and play. It’s more than just a program; it’s a foundation for lifelong learning.
As the week progresses, Friday brings more opportunities for exploration. A plant walk at Trident Booksellers & Café invites participants to discover the medicinal plants of Boulder. Led by experienced herbalists, this event starts at 5 p.m. for a fee of $10 to $30. Nature is a pharmacy, and this walk will unveil its secrets.
Also on Friday, a photography class titled "Shoot Like a Pro with Your iPhone" takes place at the Colorado Chautauqua. This hands-on session begins with a photo walk, followed by a critique. It’s a chance to learn how to capture the beauty of Boulder through your lens. The best camera is the one you have, and this class will help you make the most of it.
As the sun sets on this vibrant week, Boulder continues to shine as a hub of culture and community. Each event is a thread in the fabric of the city, weaving together stories, laughter, and learning. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, there’s something for everyone.
