Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, June 19, 2025.First up, a quick reminder that City Hall offices are closed today in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day. If you’ve got city business, you’ll want to plan to visit tomorrow instead. Many local organizations are hosting Juneteenth events, so check your neighborhood boards and community centers for celebrations and gatherings honoring emancipation and African American culture throughout Flagstaff.For anyone navigating the city, be aware that the intersection of Riordan Drive and Riordan Ranch Street is still closed at night through today for ongoing road work, so expect detours in that area. If you usually commute downtown via that route, consider taking an alternative path and allow a little extra time in your schedule.Now, for our outdoor enthusiasts, Coconino County is under expanded fire restrictions starting today. High wildfire risk means open flames and many outdoor burning activities are on hold until further notice, so double check the latest restrictions before heading out for camping or barbecues. Keep an eye on Flagstaff’s fire updates—we all know how quickly conditions can change up here, especially with those dry summer winds.On the lighter side, tonight offers a chance for adventure with the Flagstaff Fiasco Amazing Race and Tour kicking off at 1 East Aspen Avenue. It’s a fun, energetic way to explore downtown’s hidden gems and local legends, perfect for families, friend groups, and anyone who loves a little competition mixed with sightseeing. Spots are still available and you can register online or swing by before the start to join the fun.If you’re looking for more to do, our local event calendar is packed. Consider a downtown walking tour that delves into Flagstaff’s Wild West history and famous ghost stories. These family-friendly tours operate throughout the day and make a great option for both visitors and locals looking to see our city from a new perspective. Or, if you’re feeling more low-key, enjoy some live music at your favorite café, browse through the art exhibitions popping up across the city, or explore one of the many weekend festivals rounding out this first week of summer.That’s the latest from around town. Remember to stay safe, respect fire restrictions, and take advantage of Flagstaff’s vibrant arts and outdoor scenes. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency.
