Winner
The Boulder Creek Festival had another wildly successful and fun-filled run over Memorial Day weekend this year. Thousands flocked to the downtown section of Boulder Creek (from 9th Street to 14th Street, between Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe Avenue) to enjoy performances, activities, food and entertainment. For 23 years, the festival has been the unofficial kickoff to summer in Boulder. There’s something for everyone among the 10 different event areas and 500 vendors in attendance, from holistic health to hip hop dance, bluegrass music to brew appreciation, children’s play to fine art. And let’s not forget the Great Duck Race, which provides endless excitement for participants, a visual feast as 5,000 rubber ducks go barreling down the creek, and money for the city of Boulder Parks & Recreation department’s EXPAND program. Next year promises to be another community celebration to remember. Mark your calendar now for Saturday, May 29 through Monday, May 31, 2010.
