Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, August 2nd, 2025.We’re kicking off a beautiful weekend here in Flagstaff, and there is a lot happening around town and across northern Arizona. First up, the community is watching ongoing wildfire activity with extra caution. The Dragon Bravo Fire near the Grand Canyon has now burned over 110,000 acres and unfortunately has led to the closure of the North Rim for the rest of the season. There is a lot of conversation around fire management decisions, with Governor Katie Hobbs and Arizona lawmakers now calling for a formal investigation into the handling of that fire. Meanwhile, the Jacob Lake Inn which had evacuated due to the nearby White Sage Fire is welcoming travelers again as containment increases in that area. If you have outdoor plans, note that Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is entering Stage 2 fire restrictions today—open flames are prohibited and extra care is needed for any backcountry trips.For those looking for something uplifting, the Coconino Humane Association here in Flagstaff just welcomed over a dozen dogs rescued from serious Texas flash floods, and they’re now ready for adoption. You can visit the shelter or check out their website if you’re considering opening your home to a new furry friend.Downtown Flagstaff is alive this weekend as August’s First Friday ArtWalk returns. It runs from 5 to 9 PM, and just about every gallery and shop on Heritage Square and along Aspen Avenue will feature local artists, poetry slams, and live music. You can check out the brand-new ART35N show or watch artist demos and catch the El Coyote Vinyl Set for some extra groove. Bring your friends and enjoy the balmy summer evening.Speaking of music and good food, Arizona Snowbowl’s Elevated Eats and Music Series is back every Sunday this month at the Agassiz Lodge. Tomorrow, you can enjoy country tunes from Justin Merkel starting at 3:30 PM, with mountain views and dinner service through early evening. No reservations needed, just a fresh mountain breeze and good vibes.And coming up on Sunday afternoon, Heritage Square is hosting free live music from noon to two, another perfect way to soak up the downtown summer spirit.Looking ahead, the Pepsi Amphitheater will welcome Shakey Graves on August 25th, and rumors are tickets are going quickly, so plan ahead if you want in on that show. If you’re a fan of classical music and wine, mark your calendars for Sippin’ with the Symphony happening August 30th with the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra.On the civic front, Coconino County’s own elected officials have just helped pass resolutions for national policy, underscoring Flagstaff’s growing influence on the wider stage.That’s the news, the arts, and all the local flavor for your Saturday in Flagstaff.
