Finding something to do in Boulder during the summer is hard, and not because there’s nothing going on. Unlike the residents of, say, Maza, N.D., (population: 5), we never have to worry about what to do on a Saturday night. We have more going on here in one summer than most places have all year, and we’ve listed some of the most exciting, entertaining and enlightening events in the county for your planning convenience.
This year we welcome back annual favorites like the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which will offer up productions of Measure for Measure, King Lear and The Taming of the Shrew. The Colorado State Fair, a summer tradition since 1872, kicks off 12 days of music, rodeo, food and livestock shows on Aug. 27 in Pueblo, so be sure to dust off your cowboy hat and shine up your spurs. The Boulder Farmers’ Market will be bustling all season, too, Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings, and the Boulder Creek Festival, considered the unofficial beginning of summer for more than 20 years, will be held May 29-31.
Beer buffs and film aficionados will have plenty to keep them busy this summer, too, with the Breckenridge Festival of Film and the Snowmass Chili Pepper and Brew Fest being just two of the many events this year. So get out your calendar and pencil in some fun for the next three months!
