Things To Do Downtown

Downtown Boulder Community Initiatives' - Boulder Alley Gallery

Welcome Back to Things To Do Downtown!

Happy New Year Everyone!

It's been a minute - and quite a harrowing one for so many we know and love who were impacted by the devastating wildfires. We want to continue to acknowledge the suffering faced by our neighboring communities and offer as much assistance as possible (as well as celebrate the amazing outpouring of love and support by individuals and businesses throughout the state and across the country). In case you missed it, we've got a hub of resources to begin to assist with recovery efforts.

For many, January is a time where we traditionally retreat indoors to stay warm, but we know that can get old real quick, so we've got some quick and easy (and lots of FREE) activities in mind for you in the blog this month.

This year, the Things To Do Downtown blog page will be up with new events and other things to do at the beginning of each month, which will often be before we have a chance to get this newsletter out to you. The newsletter will continue to serve as your reminder to check it out, and we'll also be including polls to get your feedback on what you'd like to see (and hear) at events we produce throughout the year.

Anytime you head downtown, please remember that masks are required indoors per Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) orders. Please follow Boulder County Public Health Guidelines to keep us all safe and healthy. Check out our Visit Safe page for details.

As we come together to rebuild and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we humbly request that you join us in our fundraising efforts to bring back cherished community events.

Boulder Alley Gallery

Walking down the alleys of downtown in winter may not sound like your idea of a good time, but this adventure will help you find where we hide the COLOR in this dark, grey time of year.

The program, part of an ongoing commitment of our 501(c)(3), Downtown Boulder Community Initiatives, to enhance the downtown district landscape for locals and visitors alike, re-purposes alley and back-of-building doors into an outdoor artist gallery featuring the works of Boulder County based artists.

Walk that Alley

Don't forget to visit the Things To Do Downtown blog page - in addition to the Boulder Alley Gallery, this month's highlights include an ongoing Downtown Scavenger Hunt and happenings at both the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Museum of Boulder.
