Holiday Shopping in Boulder

Meandering through a historic, brick-paved downtown under twinkling lights, chatting with independent shopkeepers and local makers along the way, taking in fresh mountain views... this sure beats powering through the mega-mall under the glow of fluorescent lights. 

This season, make your holiday shopping something to look forward to in Boulder. Treat yourself to a hot cocoa whipped up just for you by an expert chocolatier, check out some public art along the way and enjoy an unforgettable meal.

This is holiday shopping as it was meant to be. 

Parking Deals

Free Weekends As always, parking in city parking garages is free Saturdays, Sundays and city-recognized holidays. Parking less than 15 minutes is always free, too. 

$3 after 3pm Monday-Friday you can park in any city parking garage after 3pm and leave before 3am and you'll be charged a flat rate of just $3 for your entire stay. No special tickets or codes are required (you'll scan a QR code from one of the many signs throughout the garages to pay via the city's gateless and touchless parking system).

Pre- and Post-Shopping Fun

When you've finished your shopping list, make some unforgettable family memories this season out on the trail, at Boulder's museums or over an amazing meal in America's Foodiest Town. Boulder was named in this list of the 20 Best Places to Spend Christmas in the USA.
