Momentary Pride Celebration
CELEBRATE LGBTQ+ PRIDE WITH A DAY OF INCLUSIVE FUN!
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month—and we want to spend it with you! Come celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with events for all ages and identities.
Presented in partnership with NWA Equality, on Saturday, June 7, we’re filling the Momentary campus with a vibrant lineup of music, film, food, and dance events open to all.
From a musical film festival and outdoor picnic on the Green to vogue 101 workshops, there’s plenty of ways to get inspired, have fun, and celebrate the art, culture, history, and people of the LGBTQ+ community.
See you there.
