Whether you’re soaking in crisp autumn air or making Halloween plans, we’ve got a vibrant slate of events and local stories to keep you connected with our community today.Kicking us off, Flagstaff is buzzing with Halloween excitement. Now’s the perfect time to visit Spirit Halloween over at Flagstaff Mall if you’re still looking for that show-stopping costume or some last-minute decorations. They’re open every day up until Halloween, making it easier than ever to get your spooky season essentials. Speaking of celebrations, families and those young at heart can look forward to a series of Trunk or Treat events over the coming days. Flagstaff Medical Center and the Flagstaff YMCA are both hosting kid-friendly trunk or treats, with the YMCA event set for Saturday afternoon and plenty of candy, games, and costume fun for all ages. For those who like to plan ahead, the Bluffs of Flagstaff will host a Halloween bash on the 31st, so don’t miss out on that family-friendly festivity.If you’re an arts lover or a history buff, there’s a lot to explore. Head up to the Oak Creek Overlook Vista, where local Native American artisans are showcasing handmade jewelry, ornaments, pottery, and more daily from eight to four. And Northern Arizona University's Clara M. Lovett Art Museum continues its compelling exhibition “Prints. People. Power.” running through late November. This show brings together visual voices from across the Southwest and the Americas, shining a light on social and cultural stories captured through printmaking.For a dose of music and drama, tomorrow night the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra presents “Resounding Triumph” at Ardrey Memorial Auditorium, performing emotive works from Rachmaninoff and Brahms. If live performances are your thing, be sure to swing by the Orpheum Theater for their “Beyond the gRAVE” Halloween dance party next Friday, which promises dancing and a lively costume contest in the heart of downtown.Flagstaff is also the gateway to some special regional arts—take a short trip to Sedona this week for the 21st Annual Sedona Plein Air Festival, where artists from around the country are painting breathtaking landscapes right before your eyes, blending art and nature into something unforgettable.Community gatherings are in full swing—from business networking mixers downtown at Historic Brewing Company to the UNO Tournament Fundraiser at Lowell Observatory supporting Sharon Manor. There’s always a way to connect, give back, or simply enjoy the spirit of Flagstaff together.If you’re craving outdoor adventure, lace up for the L.I.F.E. Run for Renewal this evening, or join a birding walk with a local naturalist in the picturesque Red Rock State Park. Either way, it’s a chance to soak up the fall color and maybe discover a new passion.Finally, for those seeking education and prevention resources, take note of the Voices Unheard awareness event, designed to support community healing and spotlight the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives movement.Flagstaff is alive with opportunities to learn, play, and give back as we settle into the rhythm of fall.
