NextNOW Fest 2016 is coming! The Fest will take place September 9 and 10, 2016, at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
Since 2014, the NextNOW Fest has been the university’s creative welcome and welcome back for Terps. The Fest brings artists from around campus, the region and the country to The Clarice for two nights of nonstop music, theatre and dance performances and immersive artistic experiences.
Often surprising and always intriguing, NextNOW Fest experiences will make you re-think what is possible. Past NextNOW Fest artists include Reggie Watts, invoke String Quartet, Terrapin Beats Society, Be Steadwell and The Neo-Futurists.
