True Phishheads know this July 4 weekend is really a homecoming, since the band’s first big Boulder gig was playing Balch Fieldhouse next to the stadium in 1993. The thousands of fans from across the nation who will turn Boulder tie-dyed may be searching for places to eat, sip and jam. The local roastery sources ethically grown beans and delivers the roasted beans by bike to Boulder homes and businesses. Tucked away in far North Boulder, Tierra y Fuego dishes authentic Mexican street tacos in the full rainbow of flavors.
