IT’S PRIDE MONTH 🌈

June is here, and downtown Little Rock is celebrating with a month full of community, creativity, film, family-friendly fun, and opportunities to come together to celebrate with our neighbors, friends, and loved ones.

Whether you’re looking for a festival, a parade, a movie night, or an afternoon of crafts and community, there’s a pride activity happening across downtown this month.

🌈 Pride in the Park
⏰ 1 PM - 6 PM
📍 MacArthur Park | June 7
A day filled with music, performances, food, special guests, and community celebration. Family-friendly, pet-friendly, and packed with energy, Pride in the Park is one of the biggest celebrations of the month.

🏳️‍🌈 SoMa Pride Parade & Street Festival +
⏰ 10:30 AM - 4 PM; Parade Starts at 12 PM
📍 Main Street SoMa District | June 13

🎬 But I’m a Cheerleader

Storytime, family tree activities, button making, zines, bracelets, and a scavenger hunt celebrating LGBTQIA+ history. A welcoming afternoon for families and young creatives.
