Central Arkansas Pride celebrates Pride here in Arkansas on the third Saturday of our history month in October. Established in 2013, Central Arkansas Pride is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization fueled by volunteers.

Our team’s mission is to create events and programs that educate, unite, and inspire with the goal of building a strong LGBTQIA+ community and our allies in Arkansas.

The LGBTQIA+ PRIDE movement is a vibrant, inclusive movement of affirmation, dignity, equality, and visibility that honors the LGBTQIA+ community, our history, achievements, and ongoing struggle for equality here in Arkansas and around the world.
