Your Weekend Guide to Flagstaff

This weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona brings 14 live events across the city — from community to nightlife to family. 10 events are free. Here's what's on.

Flagstaff is northern Arizona's college mountain town, where Route 66 history meets a lively Northern Arizona University crowd at 7,000 feet. The Orpheum Theater downtown is the anchor venue, booking touring indie, folk, and rock acts in a converted early-1900s movie house. Pickin' in the Pines brings a beloved bluegrass weekend to the ponderosa forest each September, and summer concerts take advantage of mountain air that stays cool while Phoenix bakes. Downtown's historic district keeps live music going at breweries and bars year-round, and the proximity to the Grand Canyon means audiences are always a mix of locals and travelers passing through.
