Back to School and Still Plenty to Do in Flagstaff

Here are Ann's picks for fun in Flagstaff this weekend
About Flagstaff Light Opera Company

Flagstaff Unified School District schools are back in session, and Northern Arizona University’s academic year is about to begin. With these turns of the calendar, NAU athletic events come back to town. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals completed their last pre-season practice in Flagstaff Thursday afternoon.

But the summer weather is not over, and neither are the open-air, weekend events at Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff, where you’ll find an outdoor movie Friday night, after some entertaining music beginning at 6 p.m. The summer concert series continues Saturday afternoon with the Porchlights at 2 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m., when Backroads, a local Flagstaff bluegrass group, will perform.

This weekend only, Flagstaff Light Opera Company will perform The Gondoliers at Sinagua High School. Click here for details of the performance times and ticket prices or call 928-779-0219. The classic Gilbert and Sullivan show is a musical farce featuring infant marriage, unknown identity, unintentional bigamy, “republican fallacies,” and the Spanish inquisition.

Saturday night, you can enjoy art and music at the Coconino Center for the Arts. Billed as Prelude to the annual late September Open Studios weekend, the Saturday evening celebration will feature artwork by local artists who will open their studios for tour. Enjoy live music, good food and conversation with the artists.

Six Degrees of Separation continues this weekend at the Doris Harper White Community Playhouse, home of Theatrikos Theatre Company. And, there are some great exhibits to visit at the Museum of Northern Arizona.

If you decide that this is the weekend to buy a Flagstaff home, give us a call: Team Heitland at RE/MAX Peak Properties!

Have a great weekend!
