LITTLE ROCK, AR, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Central Arkansas Pride is proud to announce the 2025 PRIDEFest and Parade, taking place on Saturday, October 18th at 1110 West Capitol Ave. in Little Rock, just two blocks from the Arkansas State Capitol. This year’s theme, United in PRIDE, highlights the power of visibility, community, and solidarity in the ongoing movement for LGBTQIA+ equality.

For the first time, PRIDEFest and the Parade will be held in the heart of downtown Little Rock, increasing accessibility and ensuring that the voices, stories, and celebrations of the LGBTQIA+ community are seen and heard just blocks away from the Arkansas Capitol Building.

“Our theme, United in PRIDE, reminds us that visibility is essential to equality,” said Dolores Wilk (they/them), Executive Director of Central Arkansas Pride. “By moving this year’s Pride close to the Arkansas Capitol, we are ensuring that our community cannot be ignored. We are here, we are vibrant, and we are united. Together, we will celebrate our diversity and continue working toward a more inclusive Arkansas for everyone.”

PRIDEFest is more than a celebration; it’s a movement. With live entertainment, a vibrant parade, local vendors, food trucks, community resources, and family-friendly activities, this year’s event is set to be the most impactful yet.
