Hey, we’re What’s Happenin’
A local media platform for the Front Range — weekly newsletters, local guides, and the stories behind your neighborhood, made by people who actually live here.
Our story
What’s Happenin’ started from a pretty simple frustration: in a world where you can read the news from anywhere on Earth, it’s weirdly hard to find out what’s going on down the block.
We launched in Boulder in October 2024 to close that gap — a newsletter that connects residents with their own community in a way that actually feels useful. Curated picks that help you discover local events, support neighborhood businesses, and stay in the loop on what matters where you live.
Since then we’ve grown to 5 Front Range cities, with more on the way. We’re expanding thoughtfully, keeping the same promise the whole time: quality local content, made by locals, for the people who call these places home.
What we stand for
The three things we come back to on every issue.
Local first
We back the neighborhoods, small businesses, and one-night-only events that make each city its own place — not another anywhere-USA feed.
Community over clicks
Our whole job is getting people off their phones and out into the good stuff happening down the street. Stronger neighborhoods, not longer scroll sessions.
Actually worth reading
Every issue is hand-picked. If it's in the newsletter, it's because a real Coloradan thought it was worth your five minutes.
