Arlington Pride Returns After Political Shift | Texas News

Arlington Pride is back on track, set to return June 12, 2027, at the Levitt Pavilion — a major win after last year’s cancellation sparked by a divisive city ordinance. The controversial law, approved 7-2, weakened discrimination protections by removing the city’s role in investigating disputes, prompting the HELP Center to pull the plug. But with new election results favoring inclusive leadership, city officials and the long-standing LGBTQ+ advocacy group are optimistic. Founded in 1994, the HELP Center is now rallying with local leaders to rebuild community unity, ensuring Arlington stays a vibrant, welcoming place for all — and proving Pride’s economic and cultural impact remains undeniable.
