Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Sunday, October 5, 2025.

Flagstaff is waking up to a crisp and sparkling autumn morning, perfect for getting out and exploring what our vibrant city has to offer today. Whether you’re looking for community happenings, the latest sports news, or unique events—and yes, a few ways to satisfy those weekend cravings—there’s something for everyone. Let’s dive in.

If you’re still riding high from Saturday’s energy at the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome, you know it was a dramatic day for football. NAU Lumberjacks kicked off strong with Seth Cromwell charging into the end zone, capping a drive that had fans already on their feet. But lightning struck—almost literally—when Taco Dowler of Montana State turned a punt return into a 90-yard sprint for the record books. The Bobcats rode that momentum to hand the Lumberjacks a 34-10 defeat, ending NAU’s four-game win streak. Even with the loss, NAU remains an exciting team to watch, and you can expect plenty more drama on the field this season. Fans are gathering at local cafes to dissect the game and speculate on the playoffs, so you’re bound to find lively conversation around town.

For those looking for a taste of fall and a bit of Bavarian flair, Flagstaff Oktoberfest once again brought all the color and flavor to Wheeler Park on Saturday. If you missed the bratwurst, stein-holding contest, or the polka music yesterday, don’t fret—the spirit of Oktoberfest lingers in downtown as local restaurants and brewpubs serve up autumnal favorites all week. This annual festival is more than just fun; over the years, it’s raised nearly two hundred thousand dollars for local nonprofits. So when you grab that pumpkin ale or pretzel today, you’re supporting Flagstaff in more ways than one.

Looking for things to do? There are plenty of options to fill your Sunday. The NAU Dance Team Clinic kicks off at nine over at the Rolle Activity Center—a great chance to see local talent in action or even join in if you’ve got some dance moves to share. Down the street, Heart and Soul Sanctuary hosts a tarot workshop at noon for those feeling metaphysical. If you’d rather stay active, there’s Thai Massage Essentials at ASIS Massage Education and yoga workshops planned for later in the month. Music lovers can keep an ear out for the upcoming show next weekend at The Hive featuring Sympathy Card, Saint Judas, and Alien Arcade live. And for anyone who wants to catch some culture, check out Flagstaff365 for the full schedule of art events and museum hours.

Flagstaff’s creative pulse is also beating strong this weekend, with events like Awakening Your Creative Spirit hosted by Coconino Community College—a wonderful way to connect with artists and get inspired as we move into the heart of autumn. Clear skies make tonight ideal for night sky photography workshops at the Astrogeology Science Center. Grab a friend and a thermos, and enjoy the magic of Flagstaff’s certified Dark Sky status.

That’s the pulse of Flagstaff today—a city bursting with athletic excitement, autumn celebrations, and ways to connect with neighbors both old and new. Whether you’re cheering for the Lumberjacks, sliding into a polka, or simply soaking up the beauty of fall, Flagstaff has you covered.
