Pearl Street

Overview

Pearl Street is a historic, pedestrian-only mall in the heart of downtown Boulder. It's full of cool shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, art, and more!

Pearl Street is in the middle of downtown Boulder. There are a few different spots on Pearl Street where we could meet, and I'll give you more specific logistics depending on what we're doing.

Pets

Dogs are not permitted in the pedestrian area of Pearl Street.

Pearl Street is open and accessible year-round. Around the holidays, there are lots of holiday lights throughout the street. In the spring and summer, there are flowers in the flower beds.

Pearl Street is easily accessible with minimal walking on flat, paved surfaces. 

Parking

There are multiple parking garages, lots, and street parking. I recommend giving yourself some extra time to park and walk to our meeting location. Here is a link to my favorite parking garage

Other Notes
