Hi everybody,

I’m pleased to announce that the North Carolina Wikipedians are planning to host both a virtual and in-person celebration for Wikipedia Day 2026 [1]! Both events will take place on January 15, 2026, Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary. The virtual event will take place from 12-12:30pm on Zoom (right after the Wikipedia 25 Virtual Celebration [2]), while the in-person celebration will take place in Meeting Room A at the Chapel Hill Public Library (100 Library Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27514) from 5-7:30pm. Please sign up for either event (or both) on our Wikipedia page [1].

If you have suggestions for improvement, would like to help organize this event, or if we can help you organize a celebration elsewhere in North Carolina, please do let us know!

cheers, Gaurav
