The 14th annual 2026 Arkansas PRIDE Fest & Parade is scheduled for the weekend of October 17th! Our 2026 theme is " United in Pride 2.0" continuing and highlighting the tremendous response and support from across the state. This theme emphasizes unity across Arkansas's 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum and allies while acknowledging our shared history and collective strength. This theme instills hope, joy, inclusiveness, and resilience. Get involved. Sponsors should email sponsor@arpride.org for our 2026 sponsor deck. We need your help in building and highlighting a more inclusive, progressive state, while retaining talent and encouraging businesses to recruit from the state's talented pool of LGBTQIA+ artists, students, professionals, and allies. Building a better state economically and socially. COME OUT and celebrate Arkansas' 2SLGBTQIA+ community in October, our history and coming-out month, and support our 365 programming. Check our website www.arpride.org for announcements. PRIDE IS A JOYFUL DEFIANCE! Here's where you'll find the links to all the applications you need to be a part of this year's festival. Applications are OPEN! We invite you to join us on Capitol Avenue for the parade: as a vendor, show off your talent as an entertainer, or participate as a volunteer.
