Listen ""Monsoon Showers, Celtic Festivities, and Forest Restoration in Flagstaff""
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Sunday, July 20th, 2025.Flagstaff is waking up to a mix of sunshine and those classic monsoon afternoon clouds. The National Weather Service says we might get a few isolated showers or thunderstorms later today, so if you’re heading out for outdoor fun, keep an eye out for quick changes and maybe carry that rain jacket just in case.Now, if you’re looking to get out and soak up some culture, you’re in luck. The Arizona Highland Celtic Festival wraps up today at Fort Tuthill County Park. Starting at 9 am and running until 4 this afternoon, you can catch the Highland dance competition, athletic events, live piping, workshops, genealogy, and plenty of activities just for kids. The festival is packed with food vendors and tastings from the world of Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, mead, and Celtic gin. Whether you’re tracing your roots, sampling spirits, or just watching some age-old games, there’s something for everyone at this annual tradition.If music is your thing, swing by Heritage Square downtown for Sundays on the Square. This free live music event is the perfect way to relax and connect, and it’ll be going strong all afternoon. Over at Wanderlust Brewing Company on North Main, the weekly Bluegrass Jam starts at 2:30 and goes through 5:30. Grab a fresh local brew and enjoy some toe-tapping tunes with friends.Over at Mother Road Brewing, you can catch more live music from 4 to 6 pm. If you’re near campus, plenty of coffee shops have local artists and acoustic sets, so there’s no shortage of good sounds in the High Country today.Looking to the week ahead, a quick heads-up: major roadwork kicks off tomorrow on Beulah Boulevard as part of the city’s seasonal repairs. Expect some closures and detours that could affect your commute across key city streets. If you can, give yourself extra time and consider alternate routes as the crews get to work making the roads smoother for the rest of the summer.In wildfire news, containment efforts continue for both the Dragon Bravo and White Sage fires north of town. Rain this week helped slow fire growth, allowing crews to gain ground. However, some areas, especially around the North Rim, remain closed for safety, and impacted businesses are still feeling the effects from lost reservations and tourism. If you’re planning a trip toward the Grand Canyon, note that the South Rim is still open and welcoming visitors.Finally, if you want to help restore our local forests, the Forest Service is seeking volunteers to plant trees in fire-damaged areas bordering Flagstaff. It’s a hands-on way to make a difference in the aftermath of this season’s blazes.This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
