Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
We kick off this beautiful Flagstaff Saturday with a breath of fresh mountain air and some exciting local events. If you’re up early and feeling energized, lace up your sneakers for the Beethoven 5K Run happening this morning at Fort Tuthill County Park. Hosted by the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra, this annual event brings together music, nature, and the community for a joyful run. The 5K starts bright and early at 8 am, giving everyone a chance to support local arts while getting in some exercise. Whether you’re a dedicated runner or just want a leisurely stroll through the pines, everyone is welcome, and proceeds help fuel the symphony’s music programs throughout the year.
Later today, the Museum of Northern Arizona is inviting everyone to its third annual Party on the Plateau, the museum’s largest fundraiser. Festivities begin at 5 pm with drinks and appetizers on the patio, followed by dinner and special fundraising activities. This year, the event is honoring artist Troy Gillenwater, and it promises plenty of opportunities to mingle with neighbors and support the museum’s mission to celebrate the art, science, and culture of the Colorado Plateau. It’s a great way to close out your Saturday with good food, good company, and a chance to give back to a beloved Flagstaff institution.
On the news front, safety remains a top concern for local universities, including Northern Arizona University here in Flagstaff, as colleges across the country grapple with recent incidents of gun violence. Nationally, there have been 47 incidents of gunfire on college campuses in the first few months of this year. Both local officials and campus leaders are emphasizing ongoing efforts to keep students and faculty safe, building on lessons from past events and working to maintain a secure learning environment.
In regional crime updates, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has announced indictments in a major fentanyl bust earlier this week, underscoring continued efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking throughout northern Arizona.
For those planning to enjoy the outdoors, weather today is expected to be clear and cool, making it a perfect day to explore Flagstaff’s trails, local parks, or perhaps unwind at one of the downtown coffee shops after your morning run.
That’s your rundown for today—races, fundraisers, important local news, and a city filled with summer spirit. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
