Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, August 7, 2025.

It is a bright, beautiful day in Boulder and there is no shortage of ways to enjoy it. If you are starting off with a view, take a moment to appreciate those legendary Flatirons, putting on their usual show against the summer sky. Early risers out and about can expect a calm morning, perfect for an invigorating hike or bike ride before the city kicks into gear.

For families looking to keep the kids entertained, today marks Kid's Day at the Boulder County Fair Carnival. From noon until 11 p.m., you can score discounted wristbands for unlimited rides—just twenty dollars, but make sure to snag those deals before four o'clock this afternoon. The fair is in full swing, promising classic carnival fun, games, and plenty of treats and laughter for all ages.

Soccer fans, it is a big night for the Colorado Buffaloes. The CU women's soccer team kicks off their 2025 season with an exhibition match against Colorado College. The action happens at Prentup Field, first kick at 7 p.m. This is the first chance to see a new-look Buffs squad, with twelve newcomers ready to make their mark this fall. Head coach Danny Sanchez is emphasizing team chemistry, so expect some exciting lineups and an electric atmosphere as Boulder rallies behind the home squad.

Creativity is also in the spotlight as the Thunderdome Writing Conference continues through the weekend. Writers from across the country have gathered here in Boulder for a four-day celebration filled with workshops, readings, and chances to meet literary-minded folks. If you are looking to get inspired or want to support local voices, swing by and catch an event.

Music lovers, tonight offers a treat with live music in the historic catacombs of the Boulderado Hotel. Head down to License No. 1 to enjoy Hunter Stone and Friends bringing the energy from 9 to 11 p.m. Whether you are a regular or a first-timer, it is a fun way to experience some of Boulder's rich musical culture in an intimate setting.

Turning to education and community, CU Boulder is celebrating new advances, including making engineering degrees more accessible across the state and providing tuition assistance benefits for the fall semester. If you or someone you know is eyeing career changes or advanced study, now is a good time to check out these evolving programs that keep Boulder connected to opportunity.

In campus news with big local impact, CU is also celebrating the health of football coach Deion Coach Prime Sanders, who recently underwent a successful surgery. There is a wave of community well-wishes for his speedy recovery as the Buffs prepare their roster under the guidance of a coaching staff stacked with NFL experience.

With beautiful weather on tap and so many ways to engage—whether you are chasing thrills at the fair, rooting for the Buffs, riffing with writers, or relaxing with live tunes—Boulder is buzzing.
