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 8, Calvary Bible 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 8. On Easter Sunday, April 9, Unity of Boulder will also be hosting a children's egg hunt starting at 10:30am.

Boulder Farmers Market

Starting on April 1, 2023, 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).

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. With nubby, fat tires, you can do these tours in most weather. Find more bike tours here.

Wildflower Hikes

It could just as easily dump snow in spring as it could be a warm, sunshine-filled day. If the trails are clear, you might spot some early wildflowers like pasque flowers and spring beauties. Here's a guide to Boulder's wildflowers and which trails to find them on.

Art Walks

Some of Boulder’s best public art is included on this easy, downtown walking tour, every step of which is detailed here. 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 25 alley doors painted by artists throughout downtown Boulder.
