The complete guide to First Friday
First Friday is the best night downtown Flagstaff gets all month — and this is where you plan it. A live map of every stop, routes to walk, where to park, what's open late, and a directory that's grown to 40+ galleries, studios, breweries, and shops.
This guide was built to be the most useful place to find your way around the night — and the most useful place for the venues, businesses, and artists who make it to get seen. When a new spot joins, it's on the map, in the directory, and in search the same day.
We're locals. We walk it every month. And when something isn't nailed down — a winter date, a venue's plans — we say so instead of guessing.
For venues, businesses & artists
Run a gallery, a shop, a brewery — or make art for the walk? Get in front of the people already deciding where to go on First Friday. Every listing on this site is free: a pin on the map, a directory card, and your own venue page. Send us your name, address, and what you're doing on walk night. List your venue →
Independent by design
FlagstaffArtWalk.org is independent — and that's the point. It lets us keep one current, complete map of the whole night, list and feature any venue (not just official partners), and keep it up to date as plans change. The ArtWalk event itself is produced by Creative Flagstaff; we're a separate, independent guide to it.
How we keep it true
- Venue list and addresses verified against the official 2026 venue list, live websites, and OpenStreetMap — last full pass October 2026.
- Hours and dates carry an "as of" date, and unconfirmed months say so out loud.
- Spot something wrong? Tell us here — corrections ship fast.
