The Hotel Boulderado throws one of the most elegant celebrations in town and it all began the eve before their grand opening in 1909. The gala includes a dinner and dance package with lavish food and music provided by Dressed In Black.
Leftover Salmon is playing at the Boulder Theater – a 20 year legacy. A little Boulder Theater history…it opened in 1906 as Curran Opera House by wealthy billboard sign owner James Curran and the venue featured opera, musical productions and silent movies. In 1927 the first talkie, “The Jazz Singer”, was presented by Warner Brothers. With the advent of the motion picture, all live performances ceased as the theater became a movie house from 1927 to 1978. During the Depression, the theater kept going with double features and “Country Store Nights”, when sacks of groceries were given away to those in the lucky numbered seats. Spending New Year’s Eve in the historical and romantic Boulder Theater will be a night to remember.
