More Things to Do

Tulip Time on Pearl Street

Downtown Boulder’s brick-paved Pearl Street Mall is filled with flowerbeds that bloom with upwards of 15,000 tulips in springtime. The timing of the buds’ opening is, of course, up to Mother Nature, but you will often see the tulips begin to pop up in early April, with peak time often happening mid to late April. Bring a camera and make a day of it with Pearl Street’s amazing shopping and dining.

Egg Hunts

Gather up your little ones and some baskets and head out for a lively egg hunt over Easter weekend. At 10am on Saturday, April 16, Calvary Baptist Church will host an egg hunt that includes snacks, games and prizes. The Well Church is also hosting an egg hunt downtown on the lawn of the Boulder County Courthouse at 10am on Saturday, April 16.

Boulder Farmers Market

Starting on April 2, 2022, the beloved farmers' market will fill with local farmers, cheesemakers, bakers, winemakers, and flower-growers. Pick up goodies, or simply grab a meal from the food court and enjoy a picnic beside Boulder Creek or on the shady, green Central Park. Every Saturday 8am-2pm (April-November) and Wednesdays 4-8pm (May-October).
