Hiking

Boulder is a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors. One great option that is close to the majority of the symposium is Chautauqua Park, located (more or less) within walking distance from the University of Colorado. There are various gorgeous trails and climbing opportunities for you to enjoy between all the various SC events.


Breweries

For some people, Colorado is synonymous with great craft beer, and Boulder is one of the many hot spots for microbreweries. That's why one of our concerts will be at Gravity Brewing in Louisville. If during your visit you feel the urge to partake of the juice of the barley, here are a handful (I'm sure I'm missing some) of breweries in town:


And if that isn't enough for you, here are a few that aren't in Boulder but are close:


Shopping

Looking to take a piece of Boulder home with you? Or perhaps a nice place to dine? Downtown Boulder has plenty of great local shops and restaurants. Pearl Street and 29th Street Mall are two of the main pedestrian malls in town.
