NORTH LITTLE ROCK (June 2, 2021) – To provide free entertainment to the local community and highlight local talent, the North Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau (North Little Rock CVB) will host a free monthly Summer Music Series June – August 2021 at Argenta Plaza at 510 Main Street in North Little Rock. The event is free and open to the public thanks to sponsors including the North Little Rock CVB, the City of North Little Rock, First Orion Corp, Russell Chevrolet, North Little Rock Fit2Live, Custom XM, Argenta Downtown Council, Taggart Architects and AT&T Arkansas.

Argenta Plaza Summer Music Series will be every third Saturday in June, July and August with an opening performance at 5 p.m. and headliner at 6:30 p.m. Attendees are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs and are encouraged to bring food and drinks from Argenta restaurants.
