"A Vibrant Art Fest, Reclaimed Tools, and Shakespearean Drama - Your Saturday in Boulder"
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, July 19, 2025.
Boulder is bursting with color and creativity today as the 45th annual Pearl Street Arts Fest takes over the heart of downtown. The festival turns the Pearl Street Mall into an open-air gallery, featuring everything from whimsical modern sculptures to classic watercolors and oils. Admission is free and the entire lineup of juried artists will be showcasing their work from ten this morning until seven tonight. It’s a prime opportunity for art lovers and families to stroll, chat with artists, and find that perfect piece for home or office. Plus, parking in city garages is free all weekend, making it easy to dive into Boulder’s vibrant art scene without a hassle. Just remember, leave your pets at home for this one, as it’s a humans only event to protect both the artwork and those sensitive paws.
If you’re in the mood for some laughter and nostalgia this evening, the Boulder Theater downtown is screening Happy Gilmore, complete with a pre-party and costume contest for fans who want to channel their inner Adam Sandler. Whether you come dressed as a hockey-loving golfer or just want to relive the hilarity, tonight’s event taps into Boulder's love for quirky gatherings and film community vibes.
For those up and moving early, swing by Resource Central on Arapahoe Road for the Rock and Reuse Summer Concert and Tool Sale from nine to five. You’ll find thousands of reclaimed tools for sale, perfect for DIYers or anyone looking to give old tools new life. The real fun runs from ten to one, when a taco truck rolls up, a live mariachi band plays, and glassblowing artists put on a show. There’s even a coupon scavenger hunt, so you might save on your next project while supporting sustainability in a hands-on way.
If art made from reclaimed objects piques your curiosity, the Lost and Found: Art with Found Objects exhibit is an all-day affair at The Collective Community Arts Center. This event highlights Boulder’s thriving eco-art scene and its creative approach to recycling and artistic transformation.
Looking toward the evening, the theatre at the University of Colorado Boulder is staging Shakespeare’s The Tempest at seven. Tickets are available and the cool, air-conditioned Roe Green Theatre promises world-class performances for those who’d rather sit and soak up some culture after a long day in the sun.
Elsewhere around the region, festivals and live music abound, from the Breckenridge Summer Beer Festival to punk rock shows in Denver. If you’re looking for fresh tunes, remember that the Gold Hill Inn’s restaurant and beer garden are reserved for a private event today, but their weekend music picks up again tomorrow.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
