July may be coming to an end, but we are continuing to keep the spirit of Independent Retailer Month alive! Shop, save and most of all support your favorite retailers at our Summer Sidewalk Sale this weekend Friday, July 28th through Sunday, July 30th.

Due to a rain cancellation earlier this month, Band on the Bricks will be extended to August 9th with Amarllyis opening for Chimbangle. Tonight (July 26th), make sure to give a warm welcome to opener DJ Musa Starseed, and featured group, JJ Brown's Raw Soul Band!

Speaking of all star lineups...we have some great events coming up that require an audience! Make sure to check out all the fun that is yet to be had at the Boulder Social Street events and our new weekly Gathercise activities.
