Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, October 18th, 2025. Grab your coffee and settle in, because today Boulder is absolutely buzzing with energy from downtown all the way to Folsom Field.
Let’s start with live music, because if you’re anywhere near CU’s iconic stadium this evening, you’ll hear the pulsing beats of superstar DJ John Summit. He’s headlining Folsom Field at 5:30 p.m. along with Tchami, Max Styler, and more, marking the biggest solo show of Summit’s career right here in Boulder. This isn’t just another concert—it’s a landmark for Colorado’s electronic scene, drawing fans from all over the country to the Rockies. If you haven’t scored your tickets yet, you’ll want to act fast; sources say this will be one for the history books, joining legendary acts like the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and The Grateful Dead who have all played this venue.
But the rhythm isn’t confined to just one place—downtown Boulder is in full festival mode with the Boulder Roots Music Fest rolling through all weekend. From 11 a.m. to nearly midnight, you can catch over 800 artists on 15 stages dotting Pearl Street, including sets by Andy Frasco & The U.N., North Mississippi Allstars, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and local favorites like Yonder Mountain String Band. The genres range from Americana and bluegrass to funk and electronica, so whether you’re a die-hard fan or just want to wander and soak up the sounds, there’s something for everyone. Family-friendly, accessible, and filled to the brim with Colorado talent—the Roots Fest is Boulder’s autumn signature.
If singing along is more your style, the annual World Singing Day takes over the 1300 block of Pearl Street Mall from 2 to 3:30 p.m. today. Bring your voice—good, bad, or somewhere in between—and join neighbors for a celebration of community through music. Lyric booklets are provided, so you can belt out songs by everyone from the Beatles to Taylor Swift in a big, joyous singalong. It’s all about connecting and having fun, no rehearsals required.
For those looking to stay plugged into local issues, Boulder Reporting Lab reminds us there’s an election right around the corner, with four city council seats open and three ballot measures up for vote. It’s a good time to read up and get informed, as these decisions shape everything from neighborhood projects to larger city initiatives.
If you’re headed to Denver, be mindful of the big "No Kings" protest downtown today. Thousands are expected, which might cause transit delays on RTD, so plan your route and leave some extra time if you’re traveling to or through the Denver area.
Finally, Boulder’s clear skies mean a perfect day for hiking, biking, or just gazing at the Flatirons. Whether you’re music festival hopping, joining a singalong, or simply enjoying the fall colors, Boulder is alive with options for everyone.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
