An Opportunity For All Of Us: Growing NWA Pride
What began 10 years ago as a small group of
neighbors walking down Dickson Street is now the
largest Pride gathering in Arkansas.
Attracting thousands of people for a multi-day event
in Benton and Washington counties that celebrates
inclusion and the area’s growing LGBT community,
NWA Pride benefits programs, advocacy and
community building by the NWA Center for Equality.
Support from local individuals and businesses can
make help NWA Pride continue to grow and make a
greater economic impact while drawing visitors from
Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.
