"Stained Glass & Chill" Date Night

Saturday, June 20, 2026
Make a stained glass project with your partner that you get to take home. The glass pieces are pre-cut, so you’ll focus on two key steps of the stained glass process: foiling and soldering. By the end of the class, you’ll have a fully finished, window-ready piece. Sign up here.

Boulder Farmers Market

Saturday, June 20, 2026, 8am-2pm
The Boulder Farmers Market is a fun place to start a Saturday. Established in 1986 by a handful of local farmers looking to sell farm-fresh produce directly to the public, the market is now the largest in Colorado. It is a growers-only market, and shoppers can enjoy seasonal produce, eggs, cheeses, meats, herbs, flowers, wines and gourmet food products. Plus, the market enjoys a lovely setting next to shady Central Park and Boulder Creek, at the doorstep of the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse.
