Screen Shot 2016-04-11 at 10.09.21 AM

Chautauqua, one of Boulder’s top concert venues, has announced their summer concert line up. It’s never too early to get your live music cued up for the summer. Tickets to this small venue sell out fast for a lot of concerts, so make your list and get some tickets.

Find your concert here – https://www.chautauqua.com/events/music/

Local Tip: If you cannot get the tickets you want, make a picnic dinner and find a nice spot on the lawn just below the concern venue. You can listen to your favorite concert while you throw a frisbee or eat your pasta.

This Snow Makes Me Think About Sledding!

Thinking sledding? Boulder has some great options.

sledding-2

Check out these locations for some of the best sledding around town:

Scott Carpenter Park: This is a mellow, fun slope for the kids, but adults enjoy it too!

Tantra Park [Just South of 46th and Hanover]: This sledding hill can get incredibly packed and at places it is steep.

Foothills Community Park: There are some great, low angle slopes here for kids and adults.

Where do you like to sled around Boulder?
