Boulder County Unveils Exciting Holiday Events for 2025

UPDATE: Boulder County is set to light up the holiday season with a stunning lineup of festive events and performances, promising joy and community spirit for all ages! Four shows featuring the “Extremely Wonderful New York Holiday Radio Show” will take place on December 21 and 22 at the Dairy Arts Center, featuring the beloved Rocky Mountain Revels troupe.

This holiday production will not only entertain but also engage audiences with festive music and lively dance, all while providing a warm and cozy atmosphere. Tickets range from $28.75 to $57.50 and are available at thedairy.org.

The Rocky Mountain Revels have been delighting audiences since their inception in 2002, blending music, dance, and storytelling in a unique winter celebration rooted in community and tradition. This year’s show promises a delightful twist: a 1950s New York radio broadcast that goes awry when the headline performers fail to show.

Paul Kapustka, a board member and cast member, has crafted an engaging script that captures the essence of cultural diversity, drawing on his own Polish heritage. The show features a vibrant cast of approximately 30 performers, including families and performers of all ages, reflecting a spirit of inclusivity and community.

Boulder County’s holiday calendar is bursting with events, including the following must-see activities:

Executive Director Darren Kelly emphasizes the importance of these shared experiences, stating, “This is one of the few chances to see your friends and neighbors put on a professional show. It is a unique experience, and we’re lucky to have it.”
