LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- The 2020 Central Arkansas Pride Fest is going virtual this year.

Event officials say the eighth annual LGBTQ+ festival will be held virtually on October 17 at noon and will feature local entertainers, messages from community members, commentaries on current social justice issues and more.

“We are excited to still be able to bring Pride virtually this year,” said Zack Baker, Executive Director of Central Arkansas Pride. “Our team has worked for months to bring engaging and entertaining content that is representatives our community. This was truly a community effort, and we are so thankful for everyone who stepped up to make this year’s Pride event happen.”
