Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, August 16, 2025. If you’re just waking up and looking for ways to connect with your community, let’s get you caught up on what’s happening in and around Flagstaff today.
First, an important news alert. Flagstaff Police have made an arrest following a serious incident yesterday where two children were struck by a vehicle. The suspect is in custody, and both children are safe, but it’s a reminder for everyone out there to slow down in busy areas and keep an eye out for each other, especially as families enjoy these last weeks of summer.
Turning to brighter notes, there’s no shortage of events to bring a little joy into your weekend. This morning, kick things off at the EMPOWER Financial Literacy workshop at 10 a.m., a fantastic program helping locals get smarter about their finances and empowered for future planning. If you are looking to learn how to manage your money better or have questions about budgeting, this workshop could give you the tools and confidence to make the most of your resources.
Later today, Flagstaff’s creative spirit will be on full display at the Flagstaff International Film Festival, featuring the latest independent films from talented makers close to home and around the globe. Enjoy screenings, Q and A sessions, and maybe even a film industry workshop or two. Whether you’re a movie buff or just want to experience something new, the festival is your ticket to a world of stories right here in town.
If music is more your beat, Willow Bend is hosting a Community Celebration this afternoon from 4:30 to 6:30. Local favorites North of Lonesome will bring their signature Arizona bluegrass to the heart of Flagstaff, promising a lively evening for families, friends, and neighbors alike. Grab a blanket, bring a picnic, and enjoy some authentic homegrown music in the late summer sun.
Outdoor enthusiasts can check out today’s Fix-It Clinic, also run by the Flagstaff Sustainability Office. Bring your broken gadgets, bikes, or household items and get free help from local fixers. Not only does this save you money, but it also keeps more waste out of the landfill and builds skills you can use again and again.
Looking ahead, the City of Flagstaff is inviting residents to weigh in on the Regional Plan 2045. Starting later this month, there will be public hearings and review sessions about the city’s long-term vision for land use, sustainability, and community development. The plan will shape everything from neighborhood growth to how we protect our forests, so get involved and make your voice heard.
As evening falls, check the lineup at the Pepsi Amphitheater where the stage will be set for this season’s headline acts and festival events. Whether you’re looking to unwind with live music or just watch the stars come out at Fort Tuthill Park, the amphitheater promises something memorable.
Whatever your plans, Flagstaff is alive with ways to get involved, stay informed, and make the most of your weekend. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
