Slick Roads, Glowing Lights, and Holiday Cheer: Your Flagstaff Local Update
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Sunday, December seventh.
If you are heading out on the roads early, keep an eye on conditions and drive carefully. First responders recently handled a serious multi vehicle crash on eastbound I 40 near the Butler exit, with several people injured but reported as non life threatening, and a separate rollover on Highway 89 near Silver Saddle left one person hurt. Emergency crews have cleared those scenes, but they are a reminder to take it slow on the interstates and highways as winter weather and holiday traffic pick up.
Downtown, the holiday season is in full swing. Heritage Square and the surrounding streets are glowing with lights, decorated windows, and plenty of local shops ready for gift hunters. The Downtown for the Holidays festivities continue, with activities like the shopping passport, window decorating contest, and holiday scavenger hunt encouraging you to stroll, sip something warm, and support local businesses. Families can look for Sunday storytime events with Santa and other kid friendly holiday happenings around the square as the day goes on.
If you are more into fresh air than fireplaces, Arizona Snowbowl is already skiing like mid season. The mountain is reporting more than ninety percent of its terrain open, with all eight lifts spinning, making this one of the strongest early seasons in years. That means plenty of options for skiers and snowboarders, but also heavier traffic on Snowbowl Road and busier park and ride lots, so plan a little extra time.
On campus, Northern Arizona University is getting into the spirit with the 2025 NAU Holiday Concert, Where the Light Begins, this afternoon at Ardrey Auditorium. The concert brings together university ensembles for a mix of seasonal and classical music and is one of the marquee cultural events of the winter.
In Lumberjack sports, the NAU men’s basketball team is coming off a heartbreaker, falling 69 to 68 at the buzzer to North Dakota State after a big second half comeback. They are back in action Tuesday night down in Tempe against Arizona State, so fans will be watching to see if that fight carries over.
Around town, you will find ongoing art shows, DIY craft studios, and kids’ creative classes continuing through the month, offering warm indoor options if the wind picks up later today.
This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
