Winter Weather Arrives, Farmers Markets, Arts, and Sports in Boulder
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, December sixth.
If you are looking outside this morning, you already know winter has decided to show off. A strong storm system is dropping significant snow in Colorado’s northern and Front Range mountains this weekend, with higher elevations in the Steamboat and Front Range ranges expecting well over a foot of new powder. Mountain travel through Sunday will be slow and slick, so if you are heading to ski country, give yourself extra time, check chain laws, and be ready for rapidly changing conditions. Here in Boulder, that means a colder, snowier backdrop for everything on your calendar today, and some very happy skiers eyeing the next couple of days.
If you want to lean into the cozy vibe, one of the biggest seasonal draws for Boulder County is the Boulder County Farmers Markets Winter Market at the county fairgrounds in Longmont. Running today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it brings together around 150 local farmers, ranchers, food producers, and artisans. This is where you stock up on Colorado honey, late-season produce, holiday baked goods, and one-of-a-kind gifts, all while keeping your dollars in the local economy.
Back in town, Boulder is buzzing with arts and entertainment. At the Dairy Arts Center, the acclaimed play Every Brilliant Thing continues its run, offering a funny, intimate look at mental health and the everyday joys that keep us going. Over at CU Boulder, the 2025 Holiday Festival fills Macky Auditorium this afternoon with choirs, orchestra, and brass in one of the university’s most beloved annual concerts, perfect if you are ready to flip the switch into full holiday mode.
Tonight downtown, The Riverside on Broadway is hosting a family-friendly Dinner and a Movie Night from 6 to 9 p.m., an easy option if you want to get out without braving a long drive. Just a few blocks away, eTown Hall is taping a live show featuring Steve Poltz and Rachel Baiman, blending storytelling, music, and community radio all under one roof.
And for sports fans, the undefeated CU men’s basketball team is on the road in Fort Collins this afternoon for the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado State, tipping off just after 3. It is one of those rivalry games where bragging rights ripple through Boulder coffee shops and offices for weeks.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
