It seemed like Mother Nature wanted to keep us on our toes last weekend with cooler days and chances of rain...so we decided to give the tulips a little more time to bloom. Come celebrate spring this Sunday, May 1 at our Tulip Fairy & Elf Festival!

Follow the colorful Tulip Fairy and pint-sized fairies and elves around the Pearl Street Mall as they "wake up the tulips." This springtime tradition also features a variety of family-friendly fun from other local businesses and organizations including arts and crafts, foam sword dueling, live music performances and more.

Don't forget your wings! Dressing up and embracing your elf side is encouraged. If you don't have a fairy costume laying around your house, this event also welcomes monsters, princesses and any other costume that still fits from Halloween!

Mother's Day is right around the corner! It's the perfect time to step back and appreciate the mom role model(s) in your life - whether it's your biological mom that raised you so well or a close friend that always knows how to take care of you when you need it - we all have someone to thank for helping us become the people we are today!

Looking for a way to express your gratitude to the mom figure in your life? Check out our Mother's Day Gift Guide for inspiration. From stylish bags and stunning jewelry to painted pottery and green houseplants, this guide is sure to spark some creative gift ideas for the people you love most. And if you just can't decide, you can always give the gift of a Downtown Boulder Gift Card!

Come together April 28 – May 1 to toast Boulder’s exceptional beverage scene! First Sip is excited to celebrate Boulder beverages with drink specials at several local restaurants, unique pairing and tasting opportunities and a variety of intimate events all weekend long.

Try the new Apple Brandy Sidecar at Bohemian Biergarten, sip on strawberry frose from the rooftop of Avanti or enjoy the limited-time-only Desert Flower cocktail at Gemini. Looking for some non-alcoholic options? Treat your tastebuds to tea at Ku Cha House of Tea and Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. Grab your friends and toast to a beautiful spring weekend in Boulder!
