Spring Comes to Flagstaff This Weekend

Movies at Heritage Square Kick-Off the Summer Season

Bring your jackets and blankets for the opening show sponsored by Flagstaff's Downtown Business Association, Friday night at dusk at Heritage Square. The movie is Disney's Enchanted. The Flagstaff High School band will play beginning at 6 p.m. and the movie begins at sundown.

Saturday afternoon you can experience live traditional Mexican dance at Heritage Square beginning at 2:30. Or take in a whole day of Cinco de Mayo celebration activities in the Sunnyside neighborhood.

There will be dance performances by Canyon Movement Company Friday night and Saturday afternoon at NAU's Studio Theatre. Inspired by the beautiful, artistic quilts of Gee's Bend, Alabama, Canyon Movement Company has created dances reflecting the time and place represented by those quilts. Experience the story of the women who live there and how they survived the oppression, poverty and difficulties of the time. Click here for details on the performances.

Saturday is National Astronomy Day! You can celebrate at Flagstaff's historic Lowell Observatory, where telescope viewing, indoor presentations, historic exhibits, and prize giveaways will begin at 5:30 p.m.. At 7 p.m. Lowell docent Howard Israel presents, Myths & Legends of the Sky.

Of course, the streets and downtown will be filled this weekend with NAU graduates and their families -- this is Graduation Weekend at Northern Arizona University. Congratulations 2008 grads!
