'Tis the Season in Flagstaff: Holiday Events, Volunteer Needs, and Community Updates

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, December seventeenth.

Flagstaff is waking up under winter skies, and it is a good day to lean into the holiday season around town. Over at the Flagstaff Mall, shops are open extended hours with family friendly activities running from late morning into the evening, so if you still have some last minute gifts to grab, you will find a full day of browsing and people watching there. Local organizers are also highlighting several ongoing creative programs this week, from kids painting and craft classes to open studio time for adults who want to DIY their own gifts rather than buy them. These sessions are running through the weekend, so today is a great day to reserve a spot before they fill up.

If you are in the mood for some holiday nostalgia, Harkins Theatres in town is screening the twenty fifth anniversary presentation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas today, a chance to get that big screen experience of a classic with the whole family.

This afternoon, Summit High School is hosting a community bazaar starting at about one thirty. It is set up as a midweek chance to support local vendors, pick up handmade goods, and connect with neighbors before schools head into winter break.

For those looking to plug into service and support, several local nonprofits are putting out calls this week. Creative Flagstaff has opened nominations for the next round of Viola Awards, celebrating the artists, teachers, and organizers who shape the city’s arts scene. The Flagstaff Family Food Center is seeking a new volunteer lead as they move through the busy holiday season, and Victim Witness Services for Northern Arizona is recruiting volunteers as well, a reminder that community safety and support are built person by person.

On the education front, regional partners are sharing year end updates today, including new notes from Coconino Community College, the Coconino County Education Service Agency’s Teacher of the Year nominees, and a special commencement edition from Northern Arizona University.

If you or someone you know needs a safe space this evening, Native Americans for Community Action is holding its regular domestic violence group from four to five, offering support and resources midweek.

And sports fans, keep an eye on Northern Arizona men’s basketball, getting ready to host Southern Utah in their Skydome home opener tomorrow night, hoping home court energy will snap a recent skid and give fans something to cheer about.

This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
