Transform your personal experiences into art, by exploring memory, identity, and the moments that shape us. This will be a workshop for those 18+ with handouts and prompts for writing.

We will do short readings and exercises designed to loosen us up, access our creativity and writing voice, and jumpstart a writing practice.

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!

A century ago, Flagstaff residents watched one of the nation’s most prominent archaeologists uncover an ancestral pueblo on the edge of the city. They celebrated each new discovery—until the excavation ended and Dr. Jesse Walter Fewkes packed the artifacts into crates and took them back to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The experience convinced Flagstaff residents that northern Arizona needed a museum of its own.

Join MNA Exhibitions & Publications Manager Kristan Hutchison on the Museum of Northern Arizona’s 98th birthday for the story of the 1926 Elden Pueblo excavation, the controversy that followed, and the series of events that led to the founding of MNA two years later.

Free for MNA members. Free with museum admission.

Mountain Melodies Concert Series: The Flag 5
Sunday, September 6 · Gates open at 4:30 PM
Sponsored by Sabrina Carlson’s Edward Jones office

Summer evenings at The Arb just got a soundtrack.

The Flag 5 is a Flagstaff indie rock band rooted in Americana storytelling — the kind of songs that come from actually living them. Their sound draws from classic American songwriting but leans into grit: indie rock with a backbone and real stories at the center. A true local act with over five years of stages behind them, The Flag 5 brings the kind of energy that feels right at home under open skies on the Colorado Plateau. theflag5bandtheflag5band

Pack your lawn chairs or blankets, load up a picnic, and settle in for an evening where great music meets one of Flagstaff’s most beautiful outdoor settings.

Please note: No food or beverages will be sold on-site. Bring everything you need to make a night of it.
