What is 501 Day?
To celebrate all things “local,” Arkansas cities and organizations located within the 501 area code are teaming up for an area-wide celebration on May 1, known as “501 Day.” In 2021 we had a blast with community events and deals at local businesses throughout North Little Rock (see the 2021 photo gallery). We hope you’ll join us in North Little Rock for special events and discounts all weekend!
