JULY 10: THE 57TH ANNUAL DELTA EXHIBITION OPENS AT ARKANSAS ARTS CENTER

JULY 11: SOUTH MAIN VINTAGE MARKET IN BERNICE GARDEN
As always, if you're into the vintage scene, make time to drop by Bernice Garden for the South Main Vintage Market between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. While you're at it—and since it'll be hot—pop in The Green Corner Store for the shop's sixth birthday celebration.
JULY 16-19: FOCAL BOOK SALE AT MAIN LIBRARY CAMPUS
Shop thousands of gently used books at the Central Arkansas Library System's Used Book Sale. Unlike previous FOCAL Book Sales, the July edition offers night shopping (July 16, with a $5 wristband) and a teacher discount. Details.

JULY 25: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW AT THE STATEHOUSE CONVENTION CENTer
Rummage through the attic and grab Grandma's best—Antiques Roadshow is making a stop in Little Rock! Tickets were allotted via a lottery system earlier this year—if you're unsure whether or not you should have received tickets, there's a ticket checker here.
