Boulder Local Frequency: March 29th Community Gathering, Justice, and Spring Celebrations

Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, March 29th, 2026.

We're starting this Sunday with some significant community activity happening around Boulder today. Thousands of people from across Colorado are gathering for the third "No Kings" protest, which is drawing crowds to express their concerns about the policies and actions of the second Trump administration. Between three and four thousand protesters are expected to participate in marches, speeches, and food drives in both Longmont and Boulder, so if you're heading out, you may want to plan your route accordingly.

On a more spiritual note, local congregations are coming together this morning for a Palm Sunday celebration called "Unified in Holy Joyful Disruption." That event is happening at nine thirty this morning on Pine Street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, and it sounds like a meaningful way for the community to observe this important religious holiday together.

We also want to acknowledge a significant moment for Boulder's cycling community. On Friday, a Boulder County court handed down an eighteen year prison sentence to Dante Johnson for the hit and run death of cyclist John Wilkinson. The incident occurred back in May of twenty twenty five near Ninety Fifth Street and Avocet Lane. John Wilkinson, forty one years old from Broomfield, was struck by a vehicle that swerved into the bike lane with such force it destroyed the windshield. Johnson fled the scene, but was later apprehended. The cycling community has deeply felt this loss, and many see this sentencing as an important step toward justice.

If you're looking for entertainment options today, there's plenty happening around town. The Boulder Magic Show is running through tonight at the Dairy theater, featuring Braden Carlisle and Ben Young. And over at the Junkyard Social Club, there's a Queer Art Organics Open Mic happening at four thirty this afternoon if you want to catch some local creative talent.

As we head into the week ahead, remember to stay safe out there, especially with the larger gatherings happening today. The weather should be pleasant for being outdoors, so it's a great day to explore what Boulder has to offer.

This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
