Festive Fun and Starry Skies in Flagstaff: A Local Weekend Guide
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for today.
If you are looking to lean into the season, downtown Flagstaff is already waking up with holiday energy. Later today Dark Sky Brewing will be one of the go to spots to watch the citys Parade of Lights, with the route passing nearby and festivities kicking off around early evening, so you can settle in with a local brew and enjoy the floats as they roll by outside the taproom windows.
Music lovers have a cozy option at Coconino High School, where Orchestra Northern Arizona is presenting Carols in the Mountains at midday. It is a chance to hear classic holiday tunes played by local musicians, and it is a family friendly way to get into the spirit without heading down to the Valley.
On the arts side, the Beaver Street Theatre hosts the Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival production of Jane Austens Emma later this afternoon. It is a homegrown show, created and performed by local artists, and it is the kind of performance that keeps Flagstaffs theater scene feeling intimate and connected.
If you are more in the mood for a choose your own adventure kind of day, Creative Spirits continues its DIY open studio, where you can drop in, pick a project, and paint or craft at your own pace. For families, there are Creative Kids painting and craft classes still running this month, giving kids a screen free place to get messy and make something they can bring home.
Readers have a quieter option with the Silent Book Club gatherings in town, where you simply show up with a book, share a few recommendations, and then everyone settles in to read together. It is a low pressure way to meet fellow book lovers without the homework of a traditional book club.
Looking ahead to tonight, keep an eye on the sky. The Geminid meteor shower is peaking, and Flagstaffs dark sky status makes this one of the best places in Arizona to watch. The show starts after about 9 or 10 p.m., and really ramps up after midnight, so if you can get a little outside of town and let your eyes adjust, you could see dozens of meteors an hour streaking over the San Francisco Peaks.
This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
