About All. Together. Now.
Taking place February 19–21, 2027, All. Together. Now. is a new multi-day arts festival presented by Carolina Performing Arts and unfolding across Carolina’s campus and downtown Chapel Hill. Across three days of performances, conversations, and creative experiences, the festival brings artists, ideas, art forms, and people into conversation. Each year, a central idea will connect its wide-ranging experiences. The inaugural focus, Love & Hope, considers how we care for one another, build connection amid uncertainty, and imagine futures that do not yet exist.
