| June 30, 2009 | | An old-fashioned parade, night-time concert and fireworks are just some of the things to do on the Fourth of July in Flagstaff |  Flagstaff 4th of July Parade! At least 10,000 people will line the streets to watch the Fourth of July parade in downtown Flagstaff. Since most Flagstaff residents will actually be in the parade, it’s going to be very crowded downtown. The parade starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday – arrive early to get a seat in the shade!
You’ll want to be in Flagstaff Friday night to begin the holiday weekend with First Friday Artwalk. Munch your way through downtown Flagstaff and enjoy the art on display in various galleries and businesses. Even the Coconino County Democratic Party will be celebrating its new location, just north of the downtown Flagstaff library at 324 W. Birch, with a display of photographs by Flagstaff photographer Debbie Leavitt. Democratic Headquarters grand opening begins at 5 p.m.
On the 4th of July (Saturday), you can enjoy a crafts show at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff, festivals at both the Pioneer Museum and the Museum of Northern Arizona (the 76th Annual Hopi Festival!), horse races at the County Fairgrounds, a symphony concert at Pine Mountain Amphitheater, and fireworks at the Flagstaff Mall. The horse races are an Independence Day weekend tradition in Flagstaff and actually begin with post time at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 2. Racing continues through Sunday.
Whatever you do this weekend, enjoy it! Welcome to Flagstaff, AZ! Have a great 4th of July! | |
