The guys were pleading with me to get something on the City of Flagstaff blog about the holiday lighting ceremonies…and I just ran out of time! Sorry.
However, my negligence doesn’t mean you’ve missed out on all the fun.
Flagstaff and downtown are holiday happenings for weeks…all the way through the New Year. Here is a very brief outline so you can come on down and enjoy some or all of the fun:
Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, up to the New Year, downtown will feature holiday seasonal activities. Walk historic downtown to view holiday lighting displays, decorations and snowflake projections. Strolling carolers will entertain all ages from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. You can warms up with come cocoa, cider and cookies provided by various downtown businesses.
Lowell Observatory offers the Holiday Skies Program every Friday and Saturday leading up to Christmas. At 7:30 p.m., for a small fee, you can hear a presentation about the mythology and science of the winter sky, including a discussion of the Star of Bethlehem.
I can’t fit all the fun on my blog but there is the APS Northern Lights Parade in downtown on Saturday, December 9th…the BNSF Toys for Tots Santa Comes To Town event in Heritage Square on Saturday, December 16th…the Annual Luminaries in the Coconino Estates neighborhood on Sunday, December 17th…the Chanukah Celebration and Grand Menorah Lighting in Heritage Square at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 17th…The Great Pine Cone Drop at the Weatherford Hotel on New Years Eve. This doesn’t even include all the great lights and attractions around Flagstaff…like Little America, the Flagstaff Mall, and Riodran Mansion etc.
You want more info? Call the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau and ask about "The Flagstaff Holiday Times"...or a verbal rundown.
Don't forget to keep track of Flagstaff Attractions on Flagstaff.CC.
Hope you have a great holiday season. I wish you peace and happiness whatever time of year it is!
