Hello Newsletter Readers,
Happy Wednesday! Summer is right around the corner, and there are so many ways to get outside and soak up this season downtown.
Be sure to save the dates for Bands on the Bricks (lineup out now!), Boulder's free outdoor concert series. Enjoy a beverage in our Beer Garden while listening to live music on the 1300 block of the Pearl Street Mall every Wednesday evening from June 14 - August 2. Interested in volunteering? Check out available time slots.
How do you establish a sense of belonging in a place? How do you take a space and make it YOURS? Downtown Boulder's [placeholder] festival invites you (yes, you!) to flex your creative muscles and take part in an exploration of place. Now through September 1, 2023, we will be accepting submissions for festival project ideas on a rolling basis. Learn more about how to be involved in this dynamic community event.
