Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for March 15, 2025. Spring is in the air, and Boulder is buzzing with excitement as we head into the weekend. The Boulder International Film Festival is in full swing, showcasing films and filmmakers from around the world. Today's highlights include screenings of independent features and documentaries at various venues downtown. Film enthusiasts won't want to miss the panel discussions and Q&A sessions with directors and actors.
In other news, the City of Boulder has announced plans to conduct prescribed agricultural burns in North Boulder and East Boulder today. Residents in those areas may notice smoke and are advised to keep windows closed if sensitive to air quality changes. The burns are part of the city's ongoing efforts to manage vegetation and reduce wildfire risks.
For those looking to get outdoors, the Boulder Farmers Market kicks off its spring season today. From 8 am to 2 pm, you can sample fresh produce, artisanal goods, and local crafts at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. It's a great opportunity to support local farmers and businesses while enjoying the warmer weather.
Sports fans, mark your calendars! The University of Colorado women's basketball team is gearing up for their final home game of the season at the Coors Events Center. Tip-off is at 2 pm, and it promises to be an exciting match as the Buffs look to secure their spot in the upcoming tournament.
In community news, the Boulder Odd Fellows Lodge is hosting the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade and Beer Garden on Pearl Street. The festivities begin at 11 am with a beer garden, live music, and plenty of Irish cheer. The parade itself kicks off at noon, featuring Irish dancers, bagpipers, and the ever-entertaining Paddy O'Furniture Drill Team.
For science enthusiasts, don't miss the CU Wizards presentation on "The Physics of Sports" at Duane Physics building. This free event starts at 9:30 am and is perfect for curious minds of all ages.
Looking ahead, the Boulder Ballet will be performing "The Journey of the Country Mouse" tomorrow at the Dairy Arts Center. Tickets are still available for this family-friendly production.
Lastly, a reminder that Boulder County government offices will be closed on Monday in observance of an employee appreciation day. Essential services will remain operational.
