"Outdoor Adventures, Music Nights, and Changing Foster Care: Your Boulder Update"
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, July 14th, 2025.
The sun is rising over the iconic Flatirons, and it’s a beautiful start to the week here in Boulder. As you head out this morning, keep an eye out for young mountain bikers, as summer camps are in full swing across the city. The Boulder Parks and Rec department is hosting a kids’ mountain biking camp all week, so don’t be surprised if you see groups of energetic riders hitting local trails and parks today from 9 to 3. It’s a great reminder of how Boulder continues to cultivate an active, outdoor lifestyle for residents of all ages.
If you’re looking to wind down tonight, British rock legend Dave Mason takes the stage at Chautauqua Auditorium at 7:30. It’s a rare treat to catch a Hall of Fame performer in such an intimate, historic setting, and tickets are still available if you want to squeeze in a last-minute adventure. There’s also the B360 Circle Boulder by Bicycle event, an invitation to see the city’s 300 miles of bike routes from a new perspective. Whether you’re up for the full 24-mile loop or just want to join a stretch, it’s the perfect way to experience Boulder’s renowned bike-friendly spirit.
Families might want to mark their calendars for the free kids’ film series happening just up the road in Longmont at the Longmont Museum—tomorrow morning’s showing is “Mufasa,” perfect for a little cinematic nostalgia and a chance to beat the heat with popcorn in hand. And for those who like music under open skies, Wednesday’s free family concert with Jeff & Paige at Sandstone Ranch Visitors Center is sure to delight the young and young at heart.
In local news, Boulder County is making big changes to its foster care system. The county is ending its in-house foster program by September 2nd, shifting to work with private agencies to match children with foster families. Officials say this will save money and improve access to specialized services, though some foster parents are worried about what the changes could mean for kids currently in care. The county is promising that children’s experiences should remain consistent, with oversight remaining a top priority.
Turning to media, there was a seismic shift last week as Boulder Weekly, the city’s alternative newspaper, laid off its entire newsroom staff. For the first time in 32 years, the paper failed to publish its weekly issue. The owner is looking for ways to salvage the publication, but for now, the future of this Boulder institution is uncertain.
And a quick shoutout for your lawn: Resource Central is offering free sprinkler evaluations to help you keep your grass green and your water bill low through these hot summer days. It’s a simple way to conserve water and save some cash—very Boulder.
That’s it for this morning’s update. Enjoy the view, ride a bike, catch some live music, and remember to look out for each other as you move through your day. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
