The Northern Arizona weather forecast this morning included the possibility of eighteen inches of snow at elevations above 8000 feet. Luckily, Flagstaff is only at 7000 feet – but I’d plan to bring a jacket anyway. The highlight of the weekend may be the 18th Annual Zuni Festival at the Museum of Northern Arizona. Traditional dances, music, and crafts, Friday through Sunday on the grounds of the Museum on Northern Arizona. $7 adult, $6 senior (65+), $5 student, $4 child (7-17). And, if it’s chilly, there are plenty of exciting exhibits inside the Museum. Flagstaff now has a drive-in movie! Movies will be shown on Friday and Saturday nights at dusk at the fairgrounds. This week The Goonies and Hairspray show on Friday (have you ever seen a drive-in movie in the rain?) Amazing Grace and The Big Lebowski on Saturday night, when the weather is forecast to be clear. Concessions by The Smokehouse. Come early to play the 40 foot Wii game. At the Coconino County Fairgrounds. Click here for more information and upcoming features. If the weather clears Friday night, you may want to take some blankets as well as your jackets for an outdoor showing of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Friday night at dusk at Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff. The evening is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with live music in the square. There will be music in the square beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Saturday, Burnett Family Bluegrass returns to the Square. Sunday, you’ll hear Peppermint James and, on Monday, Greg Reiter and Puerta del Sol. Saturday, visit the Live Bug Zoo at The Arboretum at Flagstaff. NAU Entomologists Robert Delph and Neil Cobb will be hosting special Live Bug Zoos where visitors can view live specimens up close and see the mounted specimens in the Education Building. Event from 9:30 to noon on Saturday. On the other side of Flagstaff, beginning at 10 a.m. and continuing to 4 p.m., get your hands dirty and learn about archeology during the Elden Pueblo Field Day. Return to The Arboretum on Saturday night for the first concert of the Summer Concert Series "Americana and the Great Beyond" which will present performances by folk, country and bluegrass-inspired singer/songwriters. This week features Portland native Laura Gibson. Sunday night, enjoy Memorial Day Starfest at Lowell Observatory. Beginning at 7 PM, guest speaker Kent Colbath will give an indoor presentation, Dinosaurs, Plankton and Asteroids: the Science of Studying Mass Extinctions. In addition to this presentation, numerous telescopes set up for viewing throughout the Lowell campus. Begin your tour of Lowell as early as 5:30 p.m. and still make the presentation. Enjoy your weekend! |
