Quick tips for finding shows right now

• Look at each hotel’s “Events/Happenings” or restaurant/lounge calendar (links above) and their social-media pages — calendars change weekly. (boulderado.com)
• Downtown Boulder’s events calendar lists many hotel-hosted community events and festivals (good for larger public happenings). (boulderdowntown.com)

If you want, I can look up a specific hotel’s event calendar for particular dates (for example this weekend or a date you’ll be in town) and give exact show times and ticket details.
