Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Monday, September 8, 2025.
Flagstaff is waking up to a beautiful start this September Monday, and there’s plenty happening around town. In breaking news, local law enforcement tracked a kidnapping suspect using FLOCK cameras just outside Flagstaff yesterday, leading to the safe recovery of an infant. The community is breathing a collective sigh of relief after the quick and effective response from local authorities. Later Sunday afternoon, police and EMS responded to an assault on East Route 66 at the Santa Fe Apartments, assisting a victim with an arm injury—the situation is now under control thanks to first responders keeping our neighborhoods safe.
If you’re looking to start your week with something inspiring and locally grounded, the NACA Oak Creek Overlook Vista is open, featuring authentic Native American crafts. Artisans are on site, showcasing jewelry, pottery, and sculptures—every piece tells a story, and these crafts connect visitors with Flagstaff’s rich indigenous cultures. The Vista runs daily until 4 PM, weather permitting, and for those headed north, you’ll find artisans at the Grand Canyon’s Tusayan Museum.
For art lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, don’t miss the Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit at The Arboretum at Flagstaff, running until September 20. This annual showcase features ironwork and garden art from eight Southwest artists. Twenty-six pieces are sprinkled throughout the arboretum gardens, with even more nature-themed creations on display indoors. Not only are these works visually stunning, but proceeds from sales benefit local gardens, so it’s a treat for art fans and gardeners alike.
The fitness scene in Flagstaff keeps thriving, with gyms and clubs busy as locals and visitors make health a priority. Planet Fitness at Flagstaff Mall continues to draw in everyone from truckers to tourists, open 24 hours most days and offering affordable memberships. If you prefer outdoor activities or want to sample local goods, keep an eye out for the East Flagstaff Community Market, featuring homemade honey, bread, and salsa on the third Saturday of each month in the Flagstaff Mall’s spacious parking lot.
Chocolate lovers have some sweet news: Grand Canyon Chocolate just opened a new candy store in Flagstaff. This beloved local company is expanding its legacy, welcoming folks from all walks of life with handcrafted treats that promise to delight.
Nightlife is always lively in downtown Flagstaff. On Monday evenings, bingo fans gather at the Dark Sky Brewing Beer Garden for games that give back—every dollar spent directly benefits local nonprofits. For film buffs, the Sedona International Film Festival is hosting the Northern Arizona premiere of Suspended Time, and with events running through September 11, there’s plenty to catch before the festival wraps up.
And finally, for those interested in science and nature, the Flagstaff Festival of Science is gearing up to start its ten-day run, offering free events designed to spark curiosity and celebrate discovery throughout Northern Arizona. It’s a perfect way for families and lifelong learners to explore the wonders of the region together.
