City of Boulder Public Art Walking Tours

Discover's Boulder's public artwork during free guided walking tours throughout summer 2024.

The Community Vitality Department is offering free downtown walking tours of Boulder's public art. Each tour will last 1.5 hours and features approximately 30 stops highlighting an array of sculptures, murals and works of urban design. Participants will begin at the corner of 17th and Pearl Street and end at 13th Street and Arapahoe. Along the way, discover works installed as early as 1977 and as recently as 2024.

Guided tours will be offered most Saturdays at 11 a.m. beginning June 22 and most Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. beginning June 26. Tours run through Oct. 19. Starting July 20, Saturday tours will be offered at 9 a.m. rather than 11 a.m.

Bring your walking shoes and water bottles and join us in exploring Boulder's rich public art scene! Registration is required.

The Office of Arts and Culture reserves the right to cancel tours that do not meet the minimum size of two people or due to inclement weather. Those who have registered will be notified of any changes to scheduled tours.
