Dance music icon CeCe Peniston will headline Saturday’s Tyson Main Stage during the 2026 NWA Pride Festival! 🏳️‍🌈 From “Finally” to “Keep On Walkin’” and “We Got a Love Thang,” CeCe’s music has been part of Pride celebrations and Queer dance floors for decades, and she’s bringing that energy to Downtown Fayetteville. More artists and headliners for NWA Pride Weekend are on the way. #nwaequality #nwapride #Pride #LGBTQ

Oh, you thought we were done posting Pride events? Think again 🙂‍↕️ NWA 🚨🚨🚨 You’re in for a treat if you’re looking for the perfect way to round off @nwaequality Pride weekend in Fayetteville this June. Join us for the Hairpins Pride Cool Down at @maxinestaproom (!!!), Sunday, June 28 starting at 4pm. This party is for all of the OWLs (Older, Wiser Lesbians), queers, and gender-diverse cuuuuuties looking for a metaphorical nightcap to finish off the gayest month of the year. If hot and sexy, low-light vibes and martinis (or mock-tinis) are your thing, this will be your perfect end to a perfect weekend 🍸 Even better, $3 from every ticket sold for this event will be donated to @nwaequality to support this year’s AND next year’s NWA Pride programming. Basically what we’re saying is… the queer party isn’t stopping any time soon. 21+ | Tickets are $12 flat and are on sale NOW at the link in our bio. CHEERS B*TCHES, HAPPY PRIDE 🌈

George’s powered the lights. I’m powered by donuts. Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Dickson Divas Drag Bingo and supported NWA Equality’s NWA Gives campaign. We raised over $25,000 this week to Power NWA Pride! Donuts optional. Sequins mandatory. 📸 @danholtmeyerphoto #nwaequality #nwapride #LGBTQ #LizaAdjacent #Winning

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility 💙🤍🩷 This past weekend, our community showed their visibility in so many meaningful ways, from the ‘No Kings All Coffee’ pre-March in Fayetteville to a cozy coffeehouse gathering in Rogers, creating space for connection, advocacy, and celebration. At a time when transgender people are facing growing attacks on their healthcare, their identities, and their ability to exist, visibility isn’t just symbolic; it’s essential. This is what allyship looks like: showing up, speaking out, and standing alongside trans community members to ensure they are valued, protected, and able to live fully as themselves. Today and every day, we celebrate trans lives, trans leadership, and the power of community. 🏳️‍⚧️ #nwaequality #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV

Coffee & Trans Day of Visibility this weekend! ☕️ 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Day of Visibility is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and joy of trans and nonbinary people. Start your morning in Fayetteville at the NWA Equality offices on Church Avenue. Grab coffee, connect with community, and make a sign before heading to the No Kings March assembly on East Avenue. If you’re up north, join us in Rogers at Iron Horse Coffee Company from 4:00–7:00 p.m. for an afternoon of connection and community. Stop by, say hello, and spend time together, whether you’re transgender, a friend, family member, or ally. The coffee is on us. 💙🤍🩷 #nwaequality #LGBTQ #Queer #Trans #NoKings

☘️ March ☘️ is doing its usual thing — a little sunshine, a little chaos, maybe a little luck, and the return of people leaving their houses again. Game nights, happy hour, book club, and a little Queer Quest adventure are all on the calendar. Come hang out with us this month. 🌈 Keep an eye out for a special Out & About Coffee Meetup for Trans Day of Visibility at the end of the month — details coming soon. 🏳️‍⚧️ And don’t forget to grab your Drag Bingo tickets for April 4th!

January was approximately 47 weeks long,
and if you’re feeling feral, tired, or a little undone,
honestly, same. February arrives like a breath, like a pause,
like finding your people exactly where you are. We gather in small ways, in laughter and play,
with dice on the table, with books on display.
 Cocktails, board games, familiar faces,
soft moments of joy in shared Queer spaces. Come as you are.
Come early or late.
There’s room for you here.
No need to explain. All through February, this space is for you. 🩷🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
