Summer Concert Series is Back
Broomfield’s Creative Summer Season is right around the corner and will be kicking off with the Annual Summer Concert Series. Grab your lawn chairs and umbrellas, enjoy the summer sun and have an unforgettable evening filled with family fun and music at three different locations across Broomfield. With an even more stacked lineup, this year’s concert series will include a wider range of sounds for all musical tastes. Show up hungry as food trucks will be serving up delicious food at every concert. The first summer concert kicks off at the Broomfield Library Field on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 p.m.
Property Valuations - Myth vs. Fact
The 2023 Property Notice of Valuations were sent to Broomfield residents starting the week of May 1. With the statewide increases of those valuations this year, you may have additional questions. The Property Tax Information web page is your one-stop-shop for frequently asked questions, learning more about how valuations are set and to find relief programs for those that qualify.
Summer Library Adventures is Beginning Soon

Pre-register today and start logging your days and activities on June 1. Read 20 days or complete 20 activities (or any combination of both) to earn a prize!

Know Your Air
Summer is almost here - it’s time to know and help Your Air! Colorado's Front Range, including Broomfield, often has poor air quality days in the summer caused by ground level ozone. Ozone at ground-level can cause a variety of health concerns, particularly for sensitive people. Many emissions are due to vehicle traffic and industry sources, but individual activities also contribute to the formation of ozone.
