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 as a grassroots community gathering has evolved into a bold, joyful, and unrelenting movement, drawing more than 35, people to downtown Fayetteville each June to celebrate care, 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.

The Eureka Springs Diversity Weekend is back after going dark for two years due to the pandemic.
“Everyone is excited to acquire back to normalcy after two long years,” Jay Wilks, director of Out in Eureka, said. “There has been a enormous response to Spring Diversity and to Miss Coco Peru’s show.”
Wilks has been involved with Out in Eureka since May after Spring Diversity had sparse attendance and the only event was a Common Display of Affection at Basin Park.
“I met with several business owners and community members after and we all decided to reboot diversity and I was asked to head up Out in Eureka,” Wilks said. “All of the venues are bringing in some great entertainment. There will be a lot to do during the weekend for everyone.”
