Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Monday, September 1, 2025.

Happy Labor Day, Flagstaff! The city is waking up to another beautiful holiday morning up here on the mountain, and whether you’re ready to hit the trails, crank up your grill, or join in on community action, there’s something for everyone today. Local organizers are rallying alongside the national May Day Strong movement across the country, meaning Labor Day in Flagstaff goes beyond backyard barbecues this year. Expect gatherings advocating for workers’ rights and community strength, uniting neighbors in a call for opportunity and fair treatment for all. If you’re headed downtown, keep an eye out for local rallies and maybe even a spontaneous gathering or two, as Flagstaff joins the national push to put working families front and center this holiday.

Looking for something a bit more relaxed? The heart of the arts is thumping this week as we approach the 14th Annual Hopi Arts and Cultural Festival. This festival celebrates indigenous artistry and heritage, promising vibrant dances, food, and crafts on Heritage Square. Taco lovers who want to earn their carbs can check out the Taco Tri coming up, which combines workouts and tacos for a uniquely Flagstaff spin on fitness fun. Meanwhile, for those interested in golf and giving back, the John Van Houten Memorial Golf Tournament is teeing off soon, benefiting Hope Cottage and the Sunshine Rescue Mission—great causes that support our local homeless community.

Ceramics buffs, there’s still time to sign up for Ceramics 102, an advanced beginner class offering a creative break from the September hustle. Prefer getting outside? Mark your calendar for Wednesday as healthcare providers lead a community walk at Buffalo Park, part of Northern Arizona Healthcare’s ongoing efforts to get us all moving and connecting.

Flagstaff sports fans, the Lumberjacks women’s soccer team just returned from a tough 1-1 draw with South Dakota State, and next up they’ll face UC Irvine this coming Sunday. Catch the action streaming and cheer on our hometown heroes.

Big music and entertainment are in the air, too. The Pickin’ in the Pines Bluegrass Festival is around the corner at the Pepsi Amphitheater, offering a full weekend of toe-tapping fun in the pines. Looking ahead, don’t forget to snag tickets for Durand Jones at the Orpheum Theater on September 12—just a handful of seats left for this soulful show.

Other upcoming highlights include the Poderosa Tailgate at NAU this Saturday, and the Family Weekend Fall Festival later this month—great opportunities to meet neighbors and celebrate the vibrant university spirit.

One quick public safety update: Flagstaff Police responded late yesterday to a fight near the playground at the park on Sawmill Road. Thankfully, no weapons were reported, but a reminder to keep an eye on our public spaces and lend a helping hand when needed.

That wraps up today’s Flagstaff Local Frequency. Whether you’re hitting a festival, standing up for workers, listening to some bluegrass, or just soaking up the late summer sun, there’s plenty to celebrate about our mountain town. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
