Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 13, and here’s what’s happening around town.

Let’s start with the news: Flagstaff Fire crews responded yesterday to a residential fire that left a home heavily damaged. Fortunately, all residents and pets made it out safely thanks to the firefighters’ quick response. The cause is still under investigation, but it’s another reminder to check your smoke alarms and fire safety plans at home.

If you’re looking for something fun to do today, there are several local events worth checking out. Oeno Wine Lounge is hosting its Tappy Hour from noon to four, where you can relax, connect with friends, and try local wines. For those seeking live music, Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill Park remains the go-to spot for outdoor concerts and entertainment throughout the week. Make sure to check their schedule for details about tonight’s performances.

Back to school season is wrapping up in Flagstaff and across Coconino County. Flagstaff Unified School District and several others have online enrollment and registration open for the upcoming school year. The Fredonia Public Library is taking sign-ups for its FunDamentals reading program that launches in September, and youth sports physicals are still being offered by healthcare providers around town. If you’re a parent or student, it’s a good week to double-check your school’s schedule and resource lists.

Looking ahead, there’s plenty on the horizon for families and young learners. This coming Saturday, Foxglenn Park will host the annual Fall Literacy Fair presented by United Way of Northern Arizona and Read On Flagstaff. Next month, get ready for the Flagstaff Festival of Science beginning September 19 with its popular Science in the Park event happening at Wheeler Park downtown on September 20. Community organizations continue to roll out fall programs, resource fairs, and registration opportunities for everything from reading clubs to science activities.

If you’re in the mood for a movie tonight, consider a short drive to Prescott to catch The Goonies at the Elks Theatre. Admission is free—and who doesn’t love a classic adventure film on a summer night.

Before we go, a quick shout-out to Arizona’s wildlife lovers. Today is the last day to nominate someone for the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Award, so if you know a community member making a difference, nominate them while you can.

And for fans of the arts and film, mark your calendars for the Flagstaff International Film Festival starting August 16 at the Orpheum Theater—bringing independent cinema and creative storytelling to the city’s heart.

Whether you’re gearing up for school, relaxing with a glass of wine, taking in live music, or exploring the outdoors, Flagstaff has plenty to offer all week long.

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Monday, August 11, 2025.

We’re starting the day with a look at what’s new in the local economy: Flagstaff-based Kinney Construction has become employee-owned, a move that keeps decision-making and long-term value here at home while giving workers a direct stake in the company’s future. Leadership says the transition empowers the team to perform at an even higher level, which could ripple into local jobs and project stability across Northern Arizona[3].

Now let’s talk things to do today. If you’re looking for live music tonight, Poi Rogers brings a twangy, vintage-tinged set to The Museum Club at 7:30 p.m., a classic Flagstaff venue made for two-stepping or just settling in with friends after work[4]. Over at Dark Sky Brewing, it’s Locals Monday with $2 off draft plus bingo at the Beer Garden starting at 5:45 p.m., and bonus rounds from 8 to 9. It’s an easy, low-key way to connect with neighbors and maybe snag a prize before the week kicks into high gear[10][7]. The City-backed Flagstaff 365 calendar also features an Indigenous Code Talkers Celebration listing for today, a timely chance to honor Native veterans and connect with community history—check event details before you go for exact time and location[6].

If you’re already plotting the rest of your August, Fort Tuthill’s Pepsi Amphitheater has a packed lineup on deck, from Michael Franti & Spearhead to Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening, plus Pickin’ in the Pines returning to bring that high-country bluegrass energy. It’s worth scanning dates now so you can grab tickets before shows sell out[9]. The Flagstaff Chamber’s community calendar is also stacked, including networking mixers, wellness workshops, and back-to-school hiring at NAU’s Part-Time Opportunities Fair later this month—good news for local employers and students gearing up for fall[8].

A quick regional note as you plan drives down the hill: Valley news outlets are reporting a heavy law enforcement presence and a freeway shutdown overnight in Mesa tied to an active police situation. If you’re commuting south or expecting deliveries, build in extra cushion and check traffic apps for real-time updates[5]. And as always, keep an eye on changing mountain weather and afternoon storms—monsoon pop-ups can shift plans fast even on a blue-sky morning[1].

That’s your Monday in Flagstaff—music, community, and momentum you can feel across town. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, August 7th, 2025.

Let’s start today on the roads, because if you’re headed south on Interstate 17, ADOT is shifting all traffic onto one side of the highway near Willard Springs Road, about twelve miles south of town. This is for some major work on the new wildlife overpass—a project that’s all about keeping elk, deer, and drivers a lot safer. Expect delays, especially during busy travel times, and plan for I-17 to be down to one lane in each direction for at least the next two weeks. So if you’re heading out, give yourself extra time and maybe pack some patience. This work is scheduled to keep going for another year, so it’s part of our new normal on the highway south of Flagstaff.

Moving to city life, downtown is buzzing as always with summer energy. If you’re strolling around this evening, be sure to check out Pint Night at Mother Road Brewing between four and seven, benefiting the Wilderness Volunteers.

For the music lovers among us, the Arizona Snowbowl continues its Elevated Eats and Music Series every Sunday in August.

We’re kicking off a beautiful weekend here in Flagstaff, and there is a lot happening around town and across northern Arizona. First up, the community is watching ongoing wildfire activity with extra caution. The Dragon Bravo Fire near the Grand Canyon has now burned over 110,000 acres and unfortunately has led to the closure of the North Rim for the rest of the season. There is a lot of conversation around fire management decisions, with Governor Katie Hobbs and Arizona lawmakers now calling for a formal investigation into the handling of that fire. Meanwhile, the Jacob Lake Inn which had evacuated due to the nearby White Sage Fire is welcoming travelers again as containment increases in that area. If you have outdoor plans, note that Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is entering Stage 2 fire restrictions today—open flames are prohibited and extra care is needed for any backcountry trips.

For those looking for something uplifting, the Coconino Humane Association here in Flagstaff just welcomed over a dozen dogs rescued from serious Texas flash floods, and they’re now ready for adoption.
