Thousands attended the 16th annual Juneteenth festival on Ninth Street in Little Rock on Saturday to celebrate Black freedom and culture with live music by Grammy-winning artists, food vendors, a 5K run, and an expanded kid zone at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center—an event that honored Ninth Street’s historic role as a hub for the local Black community.

A Hot Springs woman who had been missing for over a year was found at a Little Rock gas station after she told staff her identity—police later arrested her for an outstanding warrant.

In Little Rock, a dual-income household without children needs about $13.90 per hour while nearby Hot Springs households require a slightly lower rate — fueling concerns over whether the new wage can truly support everyday expenses.

Building permits have been approved for projects over $75,000 in Little Rock, including a large commercial project by Flynco Inc. and a new residential project by Kristen Saffa—permits also cover several other commercial and residential developments from companies like Nabolz Construction and Haren Construction Co.
