Eureka Springs Pride 2025: LGBTQ+ Guide to Events, Art, and Local Favorites

Dates: June 12 – June 15, 2025

🌈 Your Ultimate LGBTQ+ Travel Guide to Eureka Springs Pride 2025

Pack your glitter, lace up your boots, and get your rainbow heart ready—Eureka Springs Pride 2025 is on the horizon! This vibrant and inclusive celebration is set against the magical, hilly backdrop of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and it’s the ultimate small-town Pride with big heart energy. Think of it like Woodstock, but gayer, with more sequins and slightly better cell reception.

Why Eureka Springs for Pride?

Eureka Springs isn’t your average mountain town—it’s a glittery vortex of weirdness, queerness, and mystical vibes. It's like Sedona and New Orleans had a baby, and that baby majored in performance art and went to Burning Man.

This town is queer year-round, but during Pride, it levels up into a Technicolor Queertopia. Picture drag queens walking cobblestone streets, witches sipping lavender lattes, and non-binary fairy folk dancing in the forest—this is not a drill.

🌈 Pride 2025 Highlights

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Parade – Saturday, June 14th

Downtown becomes a literal river of glitter, feathers, and fierce moves. Floats, dancers, and drag royalty all strut their stuff with love and unapologetic fabulousness. Prepare to be gagged (and maybe even proposed to—it’s that magical).

🎤 Tig Notaro LIVE – June 14th at The Auditorium

We’re absolutely beside ourselves to welcome the iconic deadpan goddess, Tig Notaro. She’s here, she’s queer, and she’s going to make you laugh until your rainbow lashes fall off. Get your tickets here before they vanish in a puff of glitter.

💃 All Weekend Long:

Drag brunches so good they should be illegal
Pop-up queer markets featuring local art and handcrafted everything
DJs spinning house beats, disco bangers, and emotionally transformative bops
Afterparties with more glitter than your ex’s prom outfit
