Niwot is a happening place to be! With new restaurants and a brewpub, you can definitely make it a destination for an afternoon or evening of fun. We recommend a First Friday Art Walk – take a stroll through Old Town Niwot and Cottonwood Square to see what’s new in the local shops and galleries. There will be live music and refreshments should we be in another hot spell this weekend!
The Boulder area abounds with free concerts all summer. Louisville has another that we haven’t reported on yet: The Louisville Downtown Street Faire! This fun family event takes place on Fridays from 5-10pm through August 17, 2012 in beautiful Downtown Louisville CO. Bring a picnic or try some local food and cold drinks. There will be activities for the kiddos and local crafts to check out.
Here’s the 2012 lineup, along with descriptions from LDBA. Music starts at 6:30:
Were you at the Faire for Tab’s show last summer? If you were, you know. If not, do not miss this—we’re talking a power trio experience extraordinaire. The Faire seems to bring out the best in all our Louisiana musicians. Or maybe it’s the other way round.
Join us for a very special evening with the Santana and Journey co-founder and his all-star band. This show will be all about the songs Gregg wrote and sang for the original Santana, including covering their masterwork, Abraxas.
It’s a Newgrass kind of thing. Join Louisville native Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon and Bill Nershi of String Cheese Incident for an only-at-the-Faire night of jaw-dropping musicianship and good jam-band vibes, man.
North Boulder is becoming the place to be for First Fridays in Boulder. The NoBo Art District has spearheaded the effort with a fun, relaxing evening of “art & artists, unique gift items, clothing, furniture, antiques, dining, music and more!” Join the fun this Friday, August 3, 2012!
July 7 brings the return of Boulder Outdoor Cinema. If you haven’t been, it’s a fun family event!
