Flagstaff's Holiday Highlights: Parades, Sports, and Community Events
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for today.
Downtown is still glowing after the Holiday Parade of Lights, where families packed the streets this weekend to watch twinkling floats and marching bands roll past Heritage Square. That festive energy carries into the week, as Flagstaff shifts fully into holiday mode with events across town keeping things bright despite the long winter nights.
On the community front, regional law enforcement is in the spotlight after the Navajo Police Department and U.S. Marshals executed federal warrants in Tuba City earlier this month, resulting in two arrests tied to drug offenses. Authorities say the operation was part of a broader push to curb trafficking in northern Arizona, a reminder that what happens on the Navajo Nation has real impacts for safety and wellbeing throughout greater Flagstaff.
If you are looking for things to do today, there is plenty on tap. Over at Northern Arizona University, the Lumberjack women’s basketball team hosts Park University of Gilbert this evening in their final home game of the calendar year, with tipoff set for 6 p.m. at the Rolle Activity Center. NAU is hoping to build momentum behind standout scorer Naomi White, and it is a chance for locals to show up, get loud, and support student athletes before students scatter for winter break.
For book lovers, the Flagstaff City Coconino County Public Library is hosting its Senior Book Club today, featuring The Midnight Feast. It is a relaxed, discussion driven meetup aimed at older adults, but anyone who enjoys thoughtful conversation around a good read will feel right at home. And if you are navigating holiday stress, the ongoing Overcoming Anxiety series continues this week, offering practical tools and a supportive setting as we head into an often overwhelming season.
Shoppers and families can head to Flagstaff Mall, where free, festive holiday and even “Howliday” themed events are running through the week. Expect extended hours, plenty of photo ops, and a lot of last minute gifting energy in the air. For a cozy night out, Harkins Theatres is screening the 25th anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a nostalgic big screen option for families or anyone chasing that childhood holiday feeling.
Wherever you are headed today, bundle up, stay safe, and enjoy what our mountain town has to offer. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
