That summer feel is in the air, and many of us are itching to get outside after a long, cold winter. Lucky for us, there are so many wonderful events being hosted in the Boulder area! Here are 6 events you can’t miss this summer:
1. Free Coffee Tastings at OZO
Come to the OZO coffee company on Pearl Street any Friday at 2:00pm for a taste of the three coffee blends of the day. Hang out in the unique coffee shop, mingle with other coffee lovers, hone your palate, and maybe pick up a slice of Outrageous gluten-free bread from the counter while you’re there.
2. Boulder Plein Art Festival
From June 3-June 10, join artists and enthusiasts in paint-outs as they paint beautiful landscapes, cityscapes, and teach workshops. This event open to the public and you may participate for 35$ an event. This fee covers water, sunscreen, and on-site food, but these events are BYOP (bring your own paints). Or attend one of the workshops to learn about watercolor techniques for a fee of 20$, materials included. This is a unique opportunity to get involved with your community and the beautiful place we live in!
