Boulder becomes especially vibrant in the fall, with the return of University of Colorado Boulder students and the Boulder Valley School District kicking off its school year.
The City of Boulder has programs available to help connect students and their families with the support they need. You can also check out our bus schedules and bicycle and pedestrian paths to get to school car-free - or hop on a B-Cycle e-bike or Lime e-scooter to scale our hills to class with ease.
October is full of family-friendly festivities in Boulder. Enjoy peak spooky season with Halloween drive-in movies, a downtown "Munchkin Masquerade" and more. And on Nov. 1, join in the tradition and mysticism of the colorful Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
Events will be added here as they are announced.
While Boulder has a beautiful natural environment, much of that environment also makes us prone to severe weather events such as wildfires. The risk of fires can be especially high in the fall when there are drier conditions. Make sure you're prepared before you head out for your autumn adventure by checking out the resources below.
