Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, September 6, 2025. Here’s what’s happening around town today and stories making headlines.
First up, many in Flagstaff are waking up to cooler mornings as September starts to settle in, and some good news on the wildfire front: northern Arizona officials have started lifting fire restrictions, thanks to the damp weather and a calming monsoon season. Crews are still assessing the impact of the Dragon Bravo Fire, which burned over a hundred structures but now shows mostly mild burn severity. Meanwhile, some areas of Kaibab National Forest are set to reopen this weekend, and water quality experts from NAU are on standby to monitor any aftereffects.
If you’re looking for things to do, Flagstaff is buzzing with events and activities this Saturday. Art lovers can still catch highlights from last night’s First Friday Art Walk, with several downtown galleries featuring everything from watercolors and sculpture to jewelry and live performance art. Notably, the Meadowlark Art Studio just had its ribbon-cutting and is hosting visitors with original paintings, prints, and information on fall art classes for all ages. Local artist Zelda Morning Star is showing custom painted shoes and skateboards at Noble Herb, and you can still stop by West of the Moon for a spectacular group show celebrating raven-inspired art.
For those in the mood for live action and local sports, NAU football hosts Utah Tech this afternoon at Lumberjack Stadium. Students are encouraged to stop by the Poderosa Tailgate beforehand for food, music, and games leading up to kickoff. Meanwhile, after a hard-fought match yesterday, the NAU women’s volleyball team takes on East Texas A and M at 3 p.m., with full coverage and live stats offered online.
Tonight promises thrills and chills downtown, as the Full Moon Ghost Tour invites the curious to explore Flagstaff’s haunted history. The tour kicks off at 7 p.m. from the Gopher Hole Pub, winding through old city streets with spooky tales perfect for the late summer air.
If you’re planning a quieter morning, the Uptown Farmers’ Market is open until 11 a.m., offering everything from just-picked produce to artisan bread and local honey. It’s a great way to support local growers and stock up the pantry for the week ahead.
On the civic scene, the Flagstaff City Council is weighing a citizen petition concerning the use of license plate cameras. Whatever the outcome, community members are urged to stay informed as these discussions impact the balance between public safety and personal privacy across town.
Looking for more ways to connect? The 14th Annual Hopi Arts and Cultural Festival is underway, celebrating indigenous art, music, and tradition. And if you ever find yourself wanting to give back, check out ongoing community fundraisers or environmental events like Wednesday Weed Pulls running through mid-September.
As always, stay tuned for updates on weather and local alerts, especially as fire restrictions continue to change. For now, the streets and trails around Flagstaff are open to adventure.
