Midweek Highlights: Domestic Violence Support, Drum & Dance Class, and Local Arts in Flagstaff

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 10, 2025. As the sun comes up over the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff is easing into a chilly midweek, so if you are heading out early, plan on layers and watch for slick spots on neighborhood roads and along higher elevation trails. City crews continue routine winter prep, so give snowplows and work trucks extra space if you encounter them on your commute. Downtown today, an important community conversation is happening at Victim Witness Services on Birch Avenue, where the Arizona Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Task Force is holding a listening session for survivors and families. The gathering runs through the day and is focused on documenting stories, identifying service gaps, and pushing for stronger support for Indigenous families across Arizona. Parking fees are being waived for participants, and the voices shared there will help shape future policy and resources for our region’s Native communities.[1] If you are looking for something a little lighter later on, Flagstaff’s food and beer scene has you covered. Dark Sky Brewing is hosting its Wing Wednesday in the beer garden this afternoon and into the evening, pairing local brews with specials on wings, a go to midweek hangout for regulars and visitors alike.[2] For those who want to move a bit and warm up, there is a West African Drum and Dance class this evening at Jaercise Flagstaff. The session runs from early evening into the night, offering live drumming, dance, and a great way to meet neighbors while shaking off that midweek slump.[3] On the arts front, the Resonance BFA Capstone Exhibition continues this week, showcasing work from Northern Arizona University art students, and the Hozhoni Art Gallery is featuring a solo exhibition by Ardelis Rogers, highlighting local Indigenous creativity and storytelling through visual art.[2][3] Sports fans can cheer on local high school athletes as Coconino’s boys varsity soccer team takes the field at home this afternoon against Marcos de Niza, with kickoff just before 3 p.m., a chance to bundle up, grab some hot chocolate, and support the Panthers.[5] Community support is also in focus at Native Americans for Community Action, which is hosting its recurring Domestic Violence Group this afternoon from 4 to 5 p.m., offering confidential support and resources for those affected by abuse.[6] If you are in the mood for a movie tonight, Harkins Flagstaff 16 is wrapping up its 2025 Studio Ghibli series, with classic animated features back on the big screen, some with on screen captions for accessibility.[8] Looking ahead to the weekend, keep an eye out for holiday themed events like A Winters Eve with David Arkenstone and Carols in the Mountains, plus more art talks, book clubs, and markets lighting up the December calendar around town.[2][3] This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency.
