Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.Flagstaff woke up to that crisp mountain air today, but if you were at the Flagstaff Mall last night, you might still have the scent of fresh fir needles lingering—Silver Belle, the 2025 National Christmas Tree, made its lone Arizona stop right here, drawing a crowd for a first-ever Nevada tree on its journey to the Capitol. Locals took the chance to sign the trailer and snap photos, and the community spirit filled the parking lot as the tree shimmered behind glass. If you missed out, the tree heads to Albuquerque next, but last night’s memory is sticking around like only Flagstaff can.For your Saturday plans, art lovers will want to head downtown for the Artist Pop-Up at the Flagstaff Visitor Center. Whether you are on the hunt for unique gifts, want to connect with local creatives, or you're simply looking to infuse your day with a bit of beauty, today and tomorrow the Visitor Center is the place to be. Local artists will be showcasing their work, chatting about their process, and yes, there will be one-of-a-kind finds that just might make it home with you.Families take note: Northern Arizona University opens its doors for the Kids Art Studio from eleven to noon, where young artists can roll up their sleeves and dive into hands-on creating.

The energy will be high as snow sports fans get ready for those first chairlift rides of the year.If you are feeling like venturing farther afield, Sedona’s Fest of Fall is happening today at Posse Grounds Park, blending Arizona color and community with live music, crafts, and food from one to eight tonight.Tonight also marks a bittersweet chapter for a Flagstaff favorite. The Museum Club, that legendary Route 66 honky tonk, is set for auction today—so stay tuned for updates on the future of the iconic spot that’s toasted generations of live music and dancing.Looking ahead, a quick reminder that City Hall and other government offices will be closed on Tuesday for Veterans Day, so plan those errands accordingly.Homecoming weekend continues at NAU with football against Northern Colorado, and around town, you will find drop-in painting sessions, jazz society meetups, and even cribbage night if you are feeling competitive.That wraps up your Saturday in Flagstaff, where creativity, community, and a little mountain magic keep us all connected.
