🎉 Let’s Get Sidewalk Strolling: East End Block Party This Saturday
Hey Boulder! 🌞
Summer in Boulder means open streets, hot deals, and plenty of good energy—and the East End Block Party is bringing all that and more. This Saturday, Pearl Street’s East End turns into a full-on festival of live music, local shopping, family activities, and refreshments, with over 150 retailers joining in on Downtown Boulder’s biggest sidewalk sale of the season.
Whether you’re treasure-hunting vintage finds at Garage Sale, grabbing iced coffee at Ozo, or grooving to live tunes while your little ones explore, this is the kind of community magic we live for.

The Bulletin
🥾 Boulder Hike of the Day: Lion’s Lair TrailClimb through shady ponderosa forest on this scenic 2.7-mile trail to the summit of Mount Sanitas. With smooth switchbacks and epic views of Boulder and beyond, Lion’s Lair is a steady challenge that rewards every step. Wildlife is active (bring those binoculars!), but dogs aren’t allowed, so leave the pups at home for this one. | 🌮 Boulder Craving: Shreddy’s TacosFresh off wins from Boulder Taco Fest, Shreddy’s is making serious waves on Baseline. From Birria Grilled Cheese and Queso Blanco to Tres Leches that’ll haunt your dreams (in a good way), everything on the menu hits. No alcohol yet, but the aguas frescas go hard. If you haven’t been—this is your sign. |
