We’ve received a number of calls and emails from folks concerned about the recent forest fires around Flagstaff impacting the festival. At this point, the main active fire, The Schultz Fire, is on the other side of the city and the prevailing winds will continue to lead the smoke away from town and the festival grounds. I anticipate no major impacts on the festival at this point. There is no smoke in town and no threat to buildings within the city limits. Please email me with any direct concerns – folkfestival@ffotm.net. Looking forward to a great weekend!
UPDATE (6/22 8 PM): There has been a smoke advisory issued for East Flagstaff overnight but at this point there has been no smoke in Downtown or West Flagstaff, where the festival will take place. We still anticipate clear air and good times at the festival this weekend. I will continue to update the webpage as the week goes on.
