Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for February 25, 2025.
We start with breaking news from the University of Colorado Boulder, where a tense standoff with an armed man at the Folsom Parking Garage/Champion Center area ended with the suspect dead and the shelter-in-place order lifted. The incident began around 2:39 p.m. yesterday when police issued an emergency alert, asking those in the area to shelter in place. A large police presence was reported, and authorities asked everyone to avoid the area. Thankfully, the situation was resolved, and the order was lifted[1].
Moving on to more uplifting news, Boulder is gearing up for a variety of exciting events. If you missed Winter Bike to Work Day on February 14, don't worry; there's plenty more to look forward to. The University of Colorado Men's and Women's Basketball teams are in full swing, with games running through March at the CU Events Center. Cheer on your favorite teams and enjoy the energy of live basketball[2].
Looking ahead to March, the BOCO Flamenco Spring Festival is set to dazzle at the Dairy Arts Center on March 4-5, featuring José Maya and Rycardo Moreno. Subaru WinterFest will bring music and mountain lifestyle to Eldora Mountain Resort from March 7-9. The Boulder International Film Festival will celebrate the art of cinema from March 13-16, and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art will open its walls for the Open Wall 2025 community art exhibition on March 14[2].
In April, Boulder Arts Week will transform the city with an array of cultural experiences from April 4-12. The Taste of Pearl event on April 6 will pair local restaurants with wineries and distilleries for a unique dining experience. The Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado will explore themes like AI and climate change from April 7-10. And don't miss the Bluebird Music Festival from April 18-20, featuring solo, acoustic performances at the Macky Auditorium[2].
On the community front, Boulder County is making strides in various initiatives. The Jay Road median between Northbound and Southbound CO 119/Diagonal Highway will close from February 28 to March 10 for bikeway underpass construction. The county is also inviting residents to participate in the first-ever Community Assembly as part of the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update. Additionally, a public meeting on February 25 will provide an update on the compost facility feasibility study[3].
Finally, don't forget about the ongoing events like the Boulder Farmers Market, which will start on April 5 and run through November 22, offering fresh produce, live music, and a community atmosphere.
