Flagstaff National Monuments Events September 2020

31st Annual Flagstaff Festival of Science – September 18 – 27

The Flagstaff National Monuments will once again be a part of an annual event that helps make Flagstaff special – the 31st Annual Flagstaff Festival of Science. From September 18th – 27th, Flagstaff will celebrate science with 10 days of virtual and in-person events.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the format, but not the quality of events. The 31st Annual Festival of Science will be largely virtual, with a handful of outdoor, in-person events. Although the format will be different, the great line-up will be no less interesting and fascinating.

We hope that you can all attend and share with your friends.

  • The Flagstaff Festival of Science website is scifest2020.org.

The Flagstaff National Monuments are on the schedule with virtual and in-person events.
