Flagstaff and Grand Canyon hotels and travel information
Independence Day in Flagstaff
Due to the “Very High” fire conditions and recognizing local concern about fire risk and safety, which has been heightened by the Hardy and Schultz fires, the City of Flagstaff has canceled this year’s Fourth of July fireworks show at the Flagstaff Mall and Marketplace.
Despite the cancellation of the Fireworks Show, there is still plenty to do in Flagstaff during the Holiday weekend, including the 77th Annual Hopi Festival of Arts and Culture at the Museum of Northern Arizona.
For the most up-to-date information on holiday events and visiting Flagstaff throughout the year, call the Flagstaff Visitor Center at 800-842-7293
