FALLFEST 2022 celebrating UNC Students

For new and returning students: Join us at the Carolina Union on Sunday, August 14th for the 27th annual FallFest! We are excited to hold FallFest this year for the first time since 2019. FallFest will take place right after First Year Convocation at 6:30 pm and will go until 10:00 pm. FallFest provides a fun welcome back to campus for new and returning Tar Heels alike. FallFest will feature free food, giveaways, games, music, activities, and more. These features include a Blacklight Bash in the Great Hall of the Union, food vendors on South Road, a Live Mosaic Photo Wall Activity in the Art Gallery, video games, table tennis and Just Dance featured in the Union Underground, and the CUAB Student Organization Showcase & Trivia in the auditorium, among many other events and activities. There will also be outdoor events and activities such as tie dye, hand painting on the CUBES, a caricature artist, a balloon animal artist, airbrush tattoos, and a DJ. The Carolina Union looks forward to welcoming all Tar Heels to our community and giving them an opportunity to find a place to belong at Carolina.
