Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Monday, October 27. A crisp, blue-sky start to the week in Boulder kicks off what promises to be an unforgettable stretch of Halloween and Día de los Muertos celebrations in town.
With Halloween landing on Friday this year, Boulder is leaning all the way into the spirit, so if you missed the weekend festivities, don’t worry—there’s still plenty of time for tricks, treats, and a little science with a spooky twist. Tonight at Rayback Collective, Astronomy on Tap returns with a Halloween special. Bring your curiosity—and your costume—to join local astronomers for cosmic trivia, themed cocktails, and a costume contest starting at 6 p.m. Rayback’s family-friendly vibe and science-forward fun make it a favorite local stop.
Just across town, the Junkyard Social Club is getting weird in the best way with Five Fifths Ghostbusters, a theatrical haunted party mashing up the iconic movie with Boulder’s own flair. Doors open at 6:30, and the stage comes alive with local theater, music, and drag artists. Costumes strongly encouraged, mayhem assured, and your ticket supports some of Boulder’s boldest creatives.
For a quieter celebration of culture and memory, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art features a stunning Día de los Muertos exhibit this week. Local artists Jorge Flores and Lizeth Guadalupe have created moving ofrendas, or altars, honoring loved ones and the rich traditions of Day of the Dead. This exhibit runs through November 2, inviting everyone to pause and reflect.
In campus news, CU Boulder’s homecoming celebrations ramp up today with the kickoff on Farrand Field from noon to two—expect free food, Buffs swag, and Chip the Buffalo making his traditional appearance. This is just the first of a week of parades, parties, and school spirit, culminating in a Friday football game against the Arizona Wildcats.
Local headlines have also been marked by somber news. On Saturday, a tragic crash in Nederland claimed the life of a motorcyclist after a collision with a sedan. Boulder County authorities are reminding everyone to stay extra vigilant on our roads, especially during these busy fall weeks. The crash remains under investigation.
On the lighter side, CU soccer fans have something to cheer about—the Buffs shut out Arizona yesterday, and two longstanding school records fell in a single game. Hope Leyba became the program’s single-season goal leader, and goalie Jordan Nytes set a new record for career shutouts. If you’re looking for the next game, the Buffs head to Kansas this Thursday.
With Boulder filling up with costumed little ones for Friday’s beloved Munchkin Masquerade on Pearl Street, a Halloween-themed comedy night at the Dairy Arts Center, and family-friendly events from cookie decorating at Lucky’s Market to science demos at NCAR’s Super Science Saturday, there’s an abundance of ways to join the fun and connect with your neighbors.
That’s a quick scan of what’s happening here and now. Whether you’re headed out for haunted festivities, celebrating with friends and family, or supporting our Buffs, Boulder’s got something for you this week. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
