NWA PRIDE 2020 GOES VIRTUAL!

NWA Pride had big plans for 2020, but COVID-19 has forced all of us to flip gears and go virtual! Northwest Arkansas Pride is hosting a series of virtual events on Friday, June 26th, in conjunction with the international Global Pride broadcast. These events bring our LGBTQ community together to celebrate 16 years of Pride in Northwest Arkansas, and to celebrate the fabulous and multi-faceted expressions of our diverse LGBTQ culture.
