SAFETY

Central Arkansas Pride takes your safety as its priority.

Our Directors and Leaders collaborate proactively with city resources to ensure PRIDEFest is a safe and peaceful event as we celebrate with JOY and RESILIENCE on Capitol Avenue.

From training sessions to informational video calls, we are working diligently to ensure your safety. Sharing that information with you (here) and with video calls with our vendors, entertainers, parade entries, and volunteers.

City Resources include Mayor’s office, police, fire, and rescue. We are conducting Safety Stakeholders meetings to ensure your safety for PRIDEFest. To date in Arkansas with 12 PRIDE events in 2025 completed there are no recorded physical attacks.

At any public event the golden rule is SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING.

Look for our volunteers and staff to communicate your concerns. Together we have a peaceful, joyful, and resilient day as we celebrate PRIDE on Capitol.
