Arizona isn’t just where we live — it’s the heartbeat of Zonies Clothing. Every month, we highlight the events, people and places that make this state so unique, while spotlighting the community efforts your purchases help support. Think of this as your guide to what’s happening in Arizona, with a little desert perspective woven in.
This September is packed with tradition, celebration and exploration. From neon-lit fairgrounds to cultural showcases and starry nights in Flagstaff, here are three can’t-miss events — plus a look at how local students are protecting the Verde River with support from our shared mission.
🌾 Navajo Nation Fair
Window Rock · Sept 3–7
Known as the largest Native American fair in the U.S., the Navajo Nation Fair brings together rodeos, powwows, traditional food and community pride. It’s not just a gathering — it’s a cultural showcase that reflects Arizona’s deeper story, one rooted in heritage, resilience and respect for the land.
Zonies Clothing stands for more than sustainable materials. We stand for recognizing the connections between people, place and tradition. That’s why we highlight events like the Navajo Nation Fair — because being part of Arizona means appreciating the diversity that shapes it. As you explore this fair, think of our gear not just as clothing, but as a way to engage with the land thoughtfully and respectfully.

🎡 Arizona State Fair – September Nights
Phoenix · Sept 19–28
When the sun goes down in Phoenix, the fairgrounds come alive. The Arizona State Fair and it's “September Nights” is a mix of rides, live music, food stands and agricultural showcases that connect back to the state’s roots. Beyond the ferris wheel and the concerts, you’ll find exhibits that celebrate farming, livestock and the people who keep Arizona’s traditions alive.
For Zonies Clothing, this is a perfect reminder of why we design sustainable, versatile apparel: breathable for the hot afternoons, cozy enough for those crisp desert evenings and built for everyday comfort. If you’re heading out to the fair, consider a lightweight tee layered with a soft hoodie — it’s the kind of style that carries you from midway games to late-night music without missing a beat.

🌌 Flagstaff Star Party
Flagstaff · Sept 25–27
Flagstaff is home to the world’s first International Dark Sky City, and every September, it shows why. The Flagstaff Star Party invites locals and travelers alike to step away from city lights and take in skies few places in the world can match. Telescopes, astronomers and families gather in the cool mountain air to share in the wonder of the cosmos.
For us, it’s the definition of an Arizona adventure. From trail to telescope, Zonies Clothing is made for moments like this — lightweight, breathable pieces that keep you comfortable in the day’s warmth and ready for layering as night falls. When you’re looking up at constellations under a sky full of stars, your focus should be on the experience, not your outfit.

💧 Charity Focus: Friends of the Verde River
This month we’re spotlighting Friends of the Verde River and their new Watershed Fellowship Research Project. Partnering with schools in Cottonwood and Cornville, the program gives students a chance to become river scientists — testing water quality, mapping trash and studying biodiversity along the Verde.
By pairing classrooms with conservation, kids are learning firsthand how to care for one of Arizona’s most important natural rivers. They’re not only gathering data but also proposing solutions and building a culture of stewardship for the future.
At Zonies Clothing, 10% of every sale helps support efforts like this, because contributing to Arizona means investing in the next generation.
