Summertime and the livin' is...sweltering! But, you'll want to brave the heat for some of our event picks this weekend, which include the free North Little Rock Car & Air Show and a weekend full of Arkansas Travelers games. You can also relax in the air conditioning at Bass Pro Shops' free Family Summer Camp event or while enjoying a performance from the Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre.

And, if you want to stay cool while enjoying the outdoors, head to a nearby splash pad or water park or take the family on float down the river. 

North Little Rock Car & Air Show at North Little Rock Airport: This annual air show features antique and custom-built airplanes and cars. In the air, you’ll see aerobatics and formation flying. The air show starts at noon, but there will be plenty to do and see before then. Plus, proceeds from concession sales will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. 9 a.m.-2 p.m. June 27. For info: NLR.AR.Gov, Facebook.com/CityOfNorthLittleRock. FREE!

"The Goonies" at CALS Ron Robinson Theater: The Central Arkansas Library System's Ron Robinson Theater will show family-friendly films all summer, including this weekend’s screening of “The Goonies.” Introduce your kids to the 1985 comedy classic, in which a band of misfit kids come across an old treasure map and go searching for the riches. 2 p.m. June 27. $5.
