The Moonlight Hike is among the most popular interpretive hikes at Red Rock State Park. Led by a naturalist, it gives hikers the rare opportunity to enjoy the sunset and moonrise from an overlook and return by the light of the moon, while also having the chance to learn about Sedona and its surrounding areas. Verde Valley and park history, as well as some information about archaeology, geology, botany, and riparian wildlife may be included during the hike. Registration is required for this after-hours program at $20 per person.

Step through the gate and discover a hidden gem at the Museum of Northern Arizona—the Moore Medicinal Garden. Tucked between MNA’s administration and anthropology buildings on the east side of Highway 180 (across from the Museum building), this quiet, fenced-in space offers a unique opportunity to explore the traditional and contemporary uses of native plants found across the Colorado Plateau.
Led by a knowledgeable guide, the tour highlights how Indigenous communities and early inhabitants of the region have long relied on local plants for healing, nourishment, and ceremony.
With the return of the monsoons, our gardens are looking their best — and just in time for our longstanding and biggest fundraiser of the year: the Summer Garden Party, Saturday, August 29th, 4:00–7:30 PM. As we work together to sustain the Arb, we invite our community to this wonderful evening to show your support for the important work we do.
We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker: Jack Dash
Join us in our gardens with Tucson-based writer, naturalist, and horticulturist Jack Dash. Jack is the gardens manager at Tohono Chul botanical gardens, a board member of the Arizona Native Plant Society, and coeditor of Plant Press Arizona. He regularly speaks on, writes about, and guides trips related to botany, horticulture, and natural history in the Southwest, and is a co-creator of Atascosa Borderlands, a visual storytelling project exploring a remote stretch of the US–Mexico borderlands in southern Arizona.
The night will feature local faire, wine by Oeno, specialty cocktails from Mother Road, plus a raffle, silent auction, and live music from Two Hand Union.

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!
