NWA Pride

Now in its 21st year, NWA Pride is Arkansas’s largest LGBTQ celebration and one of the most powerful cultural events in the region. What began in 2004 as a grassroots community gathering has evolved into a bold, joyful, and unrelenting movement, drawing more than 35,000 people to downtown Fayetteville each June to celebrate love, visibility, identity, and progress. This year’s festival, taking place from June 27th to the 29th, marks a significant milestone: a decade of marriage equality in the United States. We honor ten years of love, recognition, and legal dignity for LGBTQ couples, and we reaffirm our commitment to continue the fight for equality and justice. The celebration includes two days of vibrant festival programming and live performances in the new Upper Ramble, the unforgettable NWA Pride Parade, the Midwest’s only Trans March, and signature events like Glitterville and Hi Tea. Together, these moments create a weekend of defiant joy, connection, and unapologetic pride. In a time of growing attacks on LGBTQ rights, NWA Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a statement. We are here, we are proud, and we will not back down. This is our community, our movement, and our moment. 🏳️‍⚧ Trans March & Rally: Friday, June 27, 2025, 6:00 p.m., Upper Ramble, Dickson Street, Fayetteville 🥳 NWA Pride Festival (Friday): Friday, June 27, 2025, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Upper Ramble, Dickson Street, Fayetteville 🎉 NWA Pride Festival (Saturday): Saturday, June 28, 2025, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Upper Ramble, Dickson Street, Fayetteville 🏳️‍🌈 21st Anniversary NWA Pride Parade, Celebrating 10 Years of Marriage Equality: Saturday, June 28, 2025, 5:00 p.m., Dickson St., Fayetteville 🤩 Glitterville: Saturday, June 28, 2025, 9:00 p.m., George's Majestic Lounge, Fayetteville ☀️ Hi Tea Dance & Pool Party: Sunday, June 29, 2025, Noon to 6:00 p.m., Mount Sequoyah Center, Fayetteville ––– Stubs.net is the official event ticketing service for NWA Pride Weekend.
