What started out as a small production on a dirt lot, has today turned into a thriving local market with food vendors, art, fresh produce, and more! The Flagstaff Community Market is dedicated to providing an outlet for small-scale vendors the opportunity to thrive in our community by giving them a place to sell their local, sustainably grown food as well as other hand-crafted products. This market also promotes education in the community and works to encourage those in rural and urban parts in the city to grow their own food. The Flagstaff Community Market started in 2000 and now has a partner market focused solely on supporting local artisans called the Flagstaff Urban Flea Market. Please come and enjoy each of the markets and discover what Flagstaff locals have in store for you!

Join a volunteer naturalist for a presentation and walk that examines fascinating story of the pre-Columbian people who lived and traveled in the park. Red Rock State Park has been a destination for Native Americans for several millennia. Most of the ancient features found in the park are from the Sinagua culture dating about 1100 to 1425 AD. The walk portion of the program will identify the various archaeological features visible from park trails and interpret them into the wider context of important regional Sinagua sites. The program lasts about 2 hours.
The program is included with park entrance fees. However, space is limited so call the park to reserve you spots at the beginning of the month of the presentation, (928) 282-6907.
