Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, September 25, 2025. As the crispness of autumn rolls in, Flagstaff is buzzing with events and updates worth knowing if you want to make the most of your day. Let’s start with what’s happening around town and then get you set for a Thursday filled with both fun and awareness.
Downtown starts to shimmer with gold as the aspen leaves turn at high elevation, so don’t miss a brisk morning hike along the trails, or head up to Aspen Corner for breathtaking fall color before the season’s peak slips by. If art and community are more your speed, tonight marks the kickoff of Flagstaff’s annual Star Party and Celebration of the Night at Buffalo Park. From tonight through Saturday, locals and visiting astronomy buffs will gather for telescope viewing, music under the stars, and presentations about the wonders of the night skies. It’s a free event—bring the whole family and don’t forget your flashlight, as Flagstaff treasures its title as the world’s first International Dark-Sky City.
Looking ahead to this weekend, Heritage Square hosts the beloved Flagstaff Music Festival, where you can support the Haven Walker Music Scholarship Fund while enjoying an eclectic mix of local musicians today until 10 pm. Wheeler Park is gearing up for the 16th annual Oktoberfest on October 4th, but tickets and hotel rooms are moving fast, so plan ahead for bratwurst and polka if you want to raise a stein in the shadow of the peaks.
On the roads, be aware: lane closures continue on North Highway 89 between Country Club Drive and Old Route 66, while the I-40 Pavement Improvement Project is underway just outside Flagstaff. If you’re driving or biking on Fourth Street, the long-awaited roundabout at Cedar Avenue and Lockett Road is now open with upgraded safety features for pedestrians, so your commute should be smoother than ever.
Local news brings some serious reminders this week. Authorities are still investigating last weekend’s collision on East Butler Avenue that claimed a life and left a Flagstaff police officer hospitalized. In brighter safety news, the Kaibab National Forest is preparing five prescribed burns in October to help protect Flagstaff from future wildfires, depending on weather and air quality conditions.
As for tonight’s local entertainment, check out The Peregrine Fund’s documentary showcase at the Orpheum Theater starting at 6:30 pm or see what’s new around town on the Flagstaff 365 event calendar. Whether you’re seeking music, art, or stargazing, there’s truly something happening at every corner.
Gas prices are holding steady in town at about $3.27 a gallon, which isn’t ideal but state analysts say some relief is on the horizon. So maybe fill up before heading out to explore all the fall festivities, or simply stroll through our vibrant downtown and soak in the cool mountain air.
That’s your Thursday circuit around Flagstaff. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
