A full calendar of sporting, cultural and music events will have Flagstaff hopping all summer.
The summer schedule is full of choices for those in need of a restorative retreat to the pines.
There are numerous arts-and-crafts festivals, music series at the county's outdoor amphitheater and the monthly First Friday art walks that coincide with Movies on the Square, creating a very festive atmosphere," said Julie Pastrick, president and chief executive officer of the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce.
She says Flagstaff has "mountain-town charm" that allows visitors to walk downtown streets, hike the mountains or ride the trails."There aren't many towns like Flagstaff, where you can enjoy amenities found in much larger cities, yet be enthralled by the beauty the mountains and high-elevation climate deliver," Pastrick said.
