Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for March 8, 2025. We've got a packed day of events and happenings around town, so let's dive right in. The Boulder International Film Festival is in full swing, bringing filmmakers and cinema enthusiasts from around the world to our city. Today's screenings include a diverse lineup of documentaries, short films, and feature-length movies at various venues across Boulder. Don't miss the filmmaker talkbacks and panel discussions happening throughout the day.

For those looking to get active, the Boulder Farmers Market is open from 8 am to 2 pm today. It's a great opportunity to stock up on fresh, local produce and artisanal goods while supporting our community's farmers and makers. Speaking of community support, the Rocky Mountain Equality organization is hosting a QTPOC hangout from 2 pm to 5 pm, providing a safe and welcoming space for queer and trans people of color to connect and socialize.

Art enthusiasts will want to check out the opening of the "Alternative Landscapes" photography exhibit at the NoBo Bus Stop Gallery. This show, part of the Month of Photography festival, features works by Marie Bush, Matt Lancaster, and Dona Laurita, offering unique perspectives on our natural surroundings.

For music lovers, the Boulder Theater is hosting Pigeons Playing Ping Pong tonight, with special guest Squeaky Feet. It's sure to be a high-energy show that'll get you moving. If you're in the mood for something more mellow, head over to Chautauqua for an evening of classical music with the Takács Quartet.

Looking ahead, the University of Colorado Boulder is gearing up for several events next week, including a public lecture on climate change and a student-led innovation showcase. And don't forget, daylight saving time begins tomorrow, so remember to set your clocks forward tonight.

On the weather front, we're expecting a mild day with highs in the mid-60s and partly cloudy skies, perfect for exploring our beautiful city or hitting the trails. Speaking of which, the Boulder County Parks and Open Space department reminds hikers to stay on designated trails and be mindful of muddy conditions as we transition into spring.

Lastly, a quick traffic update: there's ongoing construction on 30th Street, so expect some delays if you're heading that way. The city recommends using alternative routes or public transportation when possible.

This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
