Explore Flagstaff Art in the Park Festival
Each summer, Flagstaff Art in the Park transforms Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff into an open-air gallery filled with local and regional artists. Set against a backdrop of towering ponderosa pines, the festival offers a relaxed way to experience the city’s creative side while enjoying cool mountain temperatures.
Booths line the park with a wide range of handmade goods, including paintings, photography, jewelry, woodwork, ceramics, and textiles. Many of the artists are on-site, giving visitors the chance to learn about their process and connect directly with the people behind the work.
Live music and food vendors add to the atmosphere, making it easy to spend a few hours browsing, listening, and enjoying the setting. The location—just steps from downtown shops, restaurants, and Route 66—makes it a natural stop as part of a larger day exploring Flagstaff.
Whether you’re searching for a unique piece to take home or simply enjoying a slow afternoon outdoors, Art in the Park captures the creative, laid-back spirit of summer in Flagstaff.
