As drag performers, we help create the moments that bring our community together—both behind the scenes and on stage. These moments aren’t just spaces for us to perform; they’re how Queer art, talent, and expression are shared, celebrated, and sustained by our community.
NWA Pride Weekend is one of the biggest of those moments, drawing more than 40,000 people each year for the largest LGBTQ celebration in Arkansas and one of the largest in the South. For many performers, it’s not only a chance to be visible and gain broad exposure but also an opportunity to grow, connect, and reinvest in the community that supports us year-round.
Our Pride movement was started by drag performers. We’ve carried our community through crises, fought for our rights, and continue to stand on the front lines for our trans community. Here at home in Arkansas, a place where visibility can be a lifeline, Pride creates space for Queer and trans performers to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
But moments like this don’t just happen. They happen because our community chooses to invest in them.
We’re proud to be part of NWA Equality’s campaign to power NWA Pride Weekend and help ensure this celebration continues to grow and thrive.
