Stephanie Rice to perform at Day of Pride on June 9 in Texarkana

Equality Texarkana's annual Day of Pride event will be held June 9 in downtown, with Texarkana native and "The Voice" contestant Stephanie Rice performing in Front Street Festival Plaza.

Rice will act as grand marshal for the event, which will be a combination of the organization's annual parade and a picnic.

Equality Texarkana is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of the LGBTQ community and anyone affected by inequality.

Those who wish to volunteer, participate in the parade or attend as vendors can visit equalitytexarkana.org/day-of-pride-2018 for more information.

A full itinerary of events will be released in the coming months.

The organization aims to foster a sense of community and unity among all people-of any ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race or political affiliation-through public events, education and mental health services, a press release states.
