First Friday of Every Month
5:00–9:00pm

Creative Flagstaff is proud to announce the 2026 Flagstaff First Friday Artwalk Season. Flagstaff’s First Friday ArtWalk is a monthly celebration of creativity that brings downtown to life on the first Friday of every month. Artist studios, galleries, shops, restaurants, and local venues open their doors in the evening, showcasing a diverse mix of art—from painting and photography to ceramics, jewelry, and live performance. Visitors can stroll between locations, meet artists, enjoy live music, and experience the vibrant energy of Flagstaff’s arts community. Whether you’re a dedicated collector or just looking for a lively night out, First Friday offers a welcoming, walkable way to connect with local culture and creativity.

Plan your First Friday experience! See below for the ArtWalk season activations, artist highlights, participating businesses, and map of locations. Connect on social media for monthly updates.

Flagstaff Pride in the Pines Festival: Heritage Square

Flagstaff Community Labyrinth: Lone Tree Rd at Brannen Circle (3 blocks south of REI) – An evocative meander through 15 tons of lichen-covered boulders. Live music by Skylight City String Quartet. Enduring art on your open space. 5:30 till dark.

Pollinator Parade and Aerial & Dance Performance: The parade features eight giant pollinator puppets created by professional puppeteers, along with an assortment of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This short-and-sweet community parade will begin at 5pm, wind through the pedestrian mall by Rainbow’s End, and return to Heritage Square around 5:30pm for the aerial and dance performance. ⁠This is a ARTx project, proudly presented by Creative Flagstaff.

Baby Moth: Join us in Heritage Square from 7-8 pm for a live performance by Flagstaff’s own Baby Moth. They bring old soul jams with new soul flavor.
