Boulder Farmers Market

Saturday, May 10, 2025, 8am-2pm
The Boulder Farmers Market is a fun place to start a Saturday. Established in 1986 by a handful of local farmers looking to sell farm-fresh produce directly to the public, the market is now the largest in Colorado. It is a growers-only market, and shoppers can enjoy seasonal produce, eggs, cheeses, meats, herbs, flowers, wines and gourmet food products. Plus, the market enjoys a lovely setting next to shady Central Park at the doorsteps of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) and the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse.

Ideas for Mother's Day Activities in Boulder

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 — and right now is the peak time to see them. Bring a camera and make a day of it with Pearl Street’s amazing shopping and dining.

E-bike Tours

If you’ve never tried an e-bike, you’re in for a treat. You'll feel like a superhero zooming up hills with the greatest of ease. This tour takes you through historic downtown and up to the foot of the Flatirons. With nubby, fat tires, you can do these tours in most weather. Find bike tours.

Shopping

Head to historic downtown Pearl Street, one of Boulder's many local, independent boutiques or the Twenty Ninth Street shopping center for epic, open-air shopping.

Wildflower Hikes

It's a great time of year to see some early wildflowers like pasque flowers and spring beauties. Here's a guide to Boulder's wildflowers and which trails to find them on.

Public Art Walks

Some of Boulder’s best public art is included in this easy downtown walking tour. And you’ll find plenty of spots to stop for beverages and snacks along the way. Boulder's collection of 135+ murals is worth exploring, too. There are also 30 alley doors painted by artists throughout downtown Boulder.
