The Little Rock Board of Directors approved on Tuesday the creation of a temporary entertainment district in the Heights. The temporary district coincides with the neighborhood’s longstanding Third Thursday events. It’s in place 5-9 p.m. Sept. 16, Oct. 21 and Nov. 18.

The entertainment district designation allows people to drink alcohol purchased from area vendors in public as long as they drink from special cups and obtain identifying wristbands.
