Things to Do in Flagstaff This Weekend

Music, Art, Scary Stuff and Voter Information -- or are those last two the same? Whatever! Have fun in Flagstaff this weekend!

There are several opportunities Friday through Sunday this weekend (and each of the remaining weekends in October) to enjoy the myth that downtown Flagstaff is filled with haunting characters. Take the Haunted Flagstaff Walking Tour from the Flagstaff Visitor’s Center, beginning at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. each of the weekend days. Allow about 90 minutes and expect to walk about a mile in total (so, you’ll be stopping and listening a lot). Read more about this fun event at the Arizona Daily Sun website. See the schedule at the Flagstaff Visitor Center website.

Little Shop of Horrors GraphicContinuing with the Halloween theme, Flagstaff’s Theatrikos Theatre Company presents Little Shop of Horrors. There are performances Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Doris Harper White Community Theatre in downtown Flagstaff.

Want to stay away from the scary stuff and enjoy Fall in the Flagstaff mountain country? Well, you can always take a quiet hike. Or, you could sign up for Autumn in the Aspens at the Flagstaff Nordic Center – north of town about 20 minutes by car. There will be hot food, beer, live music and several children activities.

Speaking of kids activities, on Saturday morning from 10:00 a.m. to noon, NAU art education seniors will teach art classes for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. There is a $25 fee to cover materials and supplies. Location: NAU School of Art (Building 37 on the Northern Arizona University campus). Call 928-523-2432 for information.

Calling all Legislative District 1 voters! These are people living in the rural areas surrounding Flagstaff, such as Kachina Village, Mountainaire, and the Northeast rural areas, including Doney Park. Here’s a chance to meet and question the candidates for the Arizona Senate seat for the next two years. The candidates are Steve Pierce - Republican and Pat Chancerelle – Democrat. The forum is sponsored by Sponsored by the League of Women Voters and American Association of University Women, Flagstaff Branch. Moderator: Marsha Yowell,  JD, of NAU. Location is the Flagstaff Elks Lodge, 2101 N. San Francisco. The forum begins at 10:00 a.m. Saturday.

Another great choice any day this weekend would be one of the performances of the continuing run NAU Production of Fantasticsof The Fantasticks at the Clifford White Theatre on the Northern Arizona University campus. Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. and Sunday at  2 p.m. Click here for details on the NAU production.

Also on the Northern Arizona University campus, this event on Sunday, you’ll find the Fall Festival of Choirs at Ardrey Auditorium.  Beginning at 3 p.m., enjoy an afternoon of outstanding choral music. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for faculty/staff/seniors and free for students with an ID. 928-523-2642. 

You’ll find more music on Sunday at the Coconino Center for the Arts enjoy musicians from the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra providing musical background for haunting tales performed by actors from Theatrikos Theatre Company. Stories and poems for this program include: The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe; The Vampire; excerpt from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow; excerpts from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; and more. This event is FREE and begins at 4 p.m.
