Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Thursday, August 7th, 2025.Let’s start today on the roads, because if you’re headed south on Interstate 17, ADOT is shifting all traffic onto one side of the highway near Willard Springs Road, about twelve miles south of town. This is for some major work on the new wildlife overpass—a project that’s all about keeping elk, deer, and drivers a lot safer. Expect delays, especially during busy travel times, and plan for I-17 to be down to one lane in each direction for at least the next two weeks. So if you’re heading out, give yourself extra time and maybe pack some patience. This work is scheduled to keep going for another year, so it’s part of our new normal on the highway south of Flagstaff.Moving to city life, downtown is buzzing as always with summer energy. If you’re strolling around this evening, be sure to check out Pint Night at Mother Road Brewing between four and seven, benefiting the Wilderness Volunteers. It’s a great excuse to enjoy some local beer while supporting a cause that keeps our trails wild and beautiful. Over at Chocolita, there’s a decadent truffle of the week waiting for a taste test, and Sosta is now serving weekend dinners if you’re looking to try something new.Art lovers, you’ll want to look ahead to tomorrow’s First Friday ArtWalk in downtown Flagstaff from five to nine — but that’s just a warmup for a jam-packed month of creativity and community. If you need a back-to-school wardrobe refresh for the kids, downtown shops are rolling out the latest looks. And for anyone itching to dance, Orpheum Theater is hosting the Up All Night Boy Band Bash this weekend.On the cultural side, head out to the NACA Oak Creek Overlook Vista between eight and four to discover authentic Native American crafts directly from artisans. Meanwhile, The Arboretum at Flagstaff rolls on with the annual Botanical Blacksmiths exhibit—think ironwork sculptures adding character and color to the gardens, with plenty of pieces for sale and a portion supporting the Arboretum itself.If you’re in the mood for film, the last day to catch the Northern Arizona premiere of “Shari and Lamb Chop” at the Sedona International Film Festival is today. But there’s plenty happening closer to home too—tonight from five thirty to seven, Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library is hosting an evening event, so check their calendar for all the details.And here’s an update from the community front: tomorrow, Friday, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission will be at the Little America Hotel for their public meeting. It’s a great chance to hear about local conservation projects and how decisions are shaping the future for both wildlife and the people who love our wild places.Lastly, for those looking to give back or needing support, there’s a Grief Group for high schoolers today, designed to help kids process and connect during tough times, as well as a Back to School Free Haircut and Backpack Giveaway for K through 12 students — a vital resource for the community as the school year approaches.That’s your roundup of what’s happening and things to do right here in Flagstaff today. Whether you’re navigating traffic, heading downtown for good food and local art, or taking a walk in nature, there’s something for everyone. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency.
