Published 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, August 28, 2025.
It’s a crisp late summer morning here in Flagstaff, and with students streaming back into town and visitors still soaking up the high country air, the streets are buzzing. For those looking for fresh and local flavors, don’t miss the Downtown Flagstaff Wednesday Farmers Market at Heritage Square, running every Wednesday through September. You can snag farm-fresh produce, homemade crafts, and a bunch of tasty pop-up treats, all while catching up with neighbors under the pines.
Later today, film lovers have a treat: The Sedona International Film Festival wraps up its Northern Arizona premiere screenings, featuring "The Shadow of the Sun" at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre and "Went Up the Hill" at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. If you’re searching for an inspiring cinematic experience, “The Shadow of the Sun” tells the story of two brothers—one deaf since birth—who chase a musical dream to solve family hardships. It’s been winning awards across the globe and tonight marks your last chance to see it locally. “Went Up the Hill” offers a mysterious journey through New Zealand’s rugged landscape—perfect for fans of family drama and supernatural tales.
Music fans can plan ahead for the upcoming weekend at Pepsi Amphitheater in Fort Tuthill Park, Northern Arizona’s outdoor gem for concerts and festivals. While tonight might be quiet, keep an eye on the calendar for shows coming up soon—it’s always a great spot to unwind, catch the sunset, and enjoy some live music vibes with the whole family.
Meanwhile, at the Orpheum Theater downtown, Pecos & The Rooftops are bringing their gritty blend of country rock to the stage. Doors open at seven, so if you like twangy guitars and heartfelt lyrics, grab tickets early as this show promises to be a local favorite.
Flagstaff’s young entrepreneurs and business-minded locals have something to look forward to as well. Coconino Community College is hosting business community activations all day for its Welcome Week. It's a great chance to network, discover resources, and get a foot in the door if you've been thinking about starting something new.
Northern Arizona University’s campus is lively as students celebrate Welcome Week with activities and events, building excitement for the semester ahead. Lumberfest is just around the corner, promising food, music, and games for the campus community.
And for animal lovers, word is spreading about St. Vincent de Paul’s Companion Animal Program, connecting people and their beloved pets with resources and care—reminding us how compassion and community support run deep in Flagstaff.
That’s the pulse of Flagstaff today—a perfect late August blend of local connection, outdoor fun, and creative energy. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
