Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, September 13, 2025.
As the sun comes up over the peaks this Saturday, Flagstaff is bursting with activity and that trademark late-summer energy. So grab your coffee and let's dive into what's happening around town today.
First up, it’s an important day for civic spirit as local organizations are inviting Flagstaff residents to honor 9/11 by serving. From 8:15 this morning until noon, you can join community-driven service projects at 625 East Cherry Avenue. This is part of a nationwide push to turn remembrance into action, encouraging everyone to find a way to give back—whether that means pitching in on a group project, donating to a local food bank, or just spreading a little kindness in your neighborhood.
For those looking to get outside early, the Arboretum at Flagstaff is hosting a guided bird walk at 7:30 sharp. Limited to 15 enthusiastic birders, this event is a perfect way to spot some of the 130-plus bird species that visit the gardens, while getting in some fresh morning air.
If hiking is more your speed, the NACA Health Promotion team continues their Spring into Summer Hiking Series with scenic walks on favorite local trails. Families, solo explorers, and hikers at every level are welcome, and you can register on-site—just remember your water and sunblock.
Heading indoors, animal lovers should check out the High Country Humane Monthly Adoption Event at Flagstaff Mall, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. With dozens of furry friends looking for forever homes, it’s an uplifting way to make a difference, and maybe bring home a new member of the family.
And while you're at the mall, keep in mind that although the medieval circus has wrapped up, the shops and restaurants offer plenty for families out enjoying the weekend.
If art and local culture call your name, Native American artisans are showcasing authentic crafts and jewelry at the Oak Creek Overlook Vista until 4 p.m., weather permitting. Their tables are filled with ornaments, pottery, and sculptures—perfect gifts or unique souvenirs.
Maybe you’re in the mood for a film—over in Sedona, the International Film Festival is screening The Baltimorons, a heartwarming holiday comedy, at 3:30 p.m. This movie has picked up praise from Mashable and Variety, and it’s a nice escape to cooler venues just down the highway.
Flagstaff’s sports fans have reason to cheer, too, after the Northern Arizona women’s volleyball team swept Texas Tech last night in a decisive 3-0 win at home, with standout performances from Hanah Stoddard and the Lumberjacks. Momentum is high for the rest of NAU’s fall season.
A quick update on local safety—law enforcement recently arrested a suspect who had made threats against the Flagstaff Medical Center. Thanks to advanced license plate reader technology, police safely apprehended the individual soon after his vehicle re-entered the city. Their quick response kept the hospital and community safe, reminding us all of the vital role technology now plays in our public safety network.
Finally, just a short drive away, the Anthem Nights Car Show rolls out this evening in North Phoenix from 5 to 8 p.m., if you’re looking for even more to fill your Saturday with gleaming chrome and classic rides.
There’s no shortage of things to do or ways to connect in Flagstaff today—from serving the community and supporting the arts to cheering on local athletes and just enjoying the beauty that surrounds us.
