Dog-Friendly Winter & Holiday Events in Flagstaff

1. First Friday Art Walk – 12/2

Come get your holiday shopping done while supporting locally owned small businesses and artisans! You can even catch Santa at December First Friday Art Walk.

Each first Friday of the month, art galleries and businesses in historic Downtown Flagstaff participate in Art Walk with special art exhibitions, performances, live music, and more. We recommend taking the pups to Heritage Square, where you’ll usually find live music and other performances, and starting from there. You can find an official map on the Art Walk website. Please note that not every business participating in Art Walk is dog-friendly inside. Some of our favorite dog-friendly places on the list include: Bright Side Bookshop, Late for the Train, Mountain Sports, Pay ‘N Take, Bandoleros 66 Patio, and many more.

Check First Friday Art Walk website for more information.
