Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 15, 2025.Spring is in full swing, and there’s plenty happening around Flagstaff today. Let’s start with some art and community updates. The City of Flagstaff, in partnership with Arizona Public Service, is continuing its public art initiative by wrapping utility cabinets in unique designs from local artists. Today is the final day to submit your artwork for this year’s selections. This program not only adds beauty to our streetscapes but also deters vandalism and graffiti, so it’s a win all around!If you're looking for something fun this afternoon, stop by the Peace Corps Coffee Chat from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at a local café. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded neighbors and learn about opportunities for global service. Over at NAU, the Josh Moore Faculty Recital is taking place this evening, offering a night of classical music and brilliant performances.For families or anyone seeking a bit of adventure, the Cirque Legacy Medieval Circus continues its magical run at Flagstaff Mall. With dazzling acrobatics and a medieval theme, it’s perfect for all ages. Meanwhile, history buffs can enjoy a lunchtime lecture at Riordan Mansion by Tom Martin on Dock Marston, the Colorado River Historian. It’s a fascinating dive into regional history and free to attend. If the great outdoors is calling, be aware of prescribed burns planned in the Coconino National Forest this week. These burns are designed to reduce wildfire risks, ensuring the safety of our community as the fire season approaches. While these burns will likely bring some temporary smoke to parts of the city, they’re essential for forest health.On a lighter note, downtown Flagstaff offers plenty to do tonight. Mother Road Brewing is hosting a lively bingo night, and there’s a Pride in Your Community queer board game event at a local venue – perfect for a fun and inclusive evening out. If you’re in the mood for something quieter, enjoy happy hour at one of our local breweries or wine bars.For a touch of culture, be sure to check out the ongoing Collecting in a Changing World exhibition at the Museum of Northern Arizona. It highlights the intricate connections between people, landscapes, and the artifacts they cherish.Finally, as the weekend approaches, plan ahead for events like International Dark Sky Week beginning April 21 and the Cedar Avenue Crossing construction project starting soon. Both will have big impacts on the community—one for inspiring stargazing and the other for improving traffic flow.This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency.
