Homecoming
Every fall, NAU is famous for… HOMECOMING! Campus transforms into a full-blown party for Homecoming week. Lumberjacks flood campus for pep rallies, bonfires, chili cook-offs, and the legendary tailgate at the Walkup Skydome. It’s the perfect mix of school spirit, food, and music: a week where everyone, especially you, are needed and are a part of the action. Whether you’re cheering at the football game, dancing at student events, or just soaking in the buzz, Homecoming is a can’t-miss campus tradition.
Lumberjack Concert Series
Throughout the year, the Lumberjack Concert Series keeps NAU Flagstaff students grooving and moving. From local bands to big-name acts, these concerts are student-friendly, often free or discounted, and packed with energy. It’s the ultimate way to unwind after classes, so grab your friends, enjoy live music in the Union or Skydome, and let the campus turn into your personal dance floor! Every show is a memory in the making.
Flagstaff First Friday
Just steps (or a quick shuttle from campus), downtown Flagstaff lights up for First Friday art walks and local festivals. Every first Friday of the month from 6-9 pm, there’s street food, live music, outdoor art installations, pop-up shops! It’s the perfect way to explore the city, hang out with friends, and dive into Flagstaff’s quirky, creative energy, all without leaving campus life behind. Each Friday feels like a mini-adventure for students looking for culture, snacks, and fun.
