    Every year Colorado School of Mines welcomes new freshman with the signature experience that began back in 1908, of carrying a 10-pound rock up Mount Zion. Today you can watch as they leave campus and climb up the trail to the “M”.

    FIREWORKS DISPLAY POSTPONED Due to predictions of severe weather, the City of Golden has made the decision to reschedule the fireworks for later this summer. Our utmost priority is the safety of our community and those who come to enjoy the creek and the Lions Club Festival.

    The Mines football team played their hearts out today at the first championship final in their programs history! While they didn't bring home the title, we're extremely proud and impressed by this team. Go Orediggers!

    Golden’s crews are hard at work during snowstorms to keep the roads clear. We are one of the only cities in the metro area that plows ALL residential streets. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work day and night to ensure safe roads this winter season!

    Pedestrian Bridge Over Kinney Run - A Valentine's Day Gift to Golden! The much-anticipated pedestrian bridge over Kinney Run was installed on Feb 14. We cannot thank the city Streets and Public Works departments enough for their dedication and hard work.

    We grieve in solidarity with our neighbors to the north as we learn the identities of the ten people lost to senseless violence yesterday. We offer love and support to the families and friends of those victims, and to the Boulder community as a whole. #BoulderShooting

    Flood warning! Use extreme caution during substantial rainfall like Golden is experiencing this afternoon. Never drive or walk through flooded streets. Turn around and wait for flooding to subside. Stay safe by turning around and waiting out the flood waters.

    There's a thunderstorm moving through Golden at the moment, but that should just cool things down for the 9:30 fireworks show which still looks to be on schedule!

    Did you know that the City of Golden is the only municipality in the Denver Metro Area that plows primary, secondary, and tertiary roadways during a winter storm? With snow in the forecast, it's a great time to review the City's Snow and Ice plan or explore the new snowplow
