Is there anyway to load one fixture and have it load multiple fixtures?
I'd ideally like to type:
python manage.py loaddata all_fixtures And have that load all of the data instead of having to type everything. Is this possible?

By default, Django only loads fixtures into the default database. Use before_scenario to load the fixtures in all of the databases you have configured if your tests rely on the fixtures being loaded in all of them.
A fixture is a collection of data that Django knows how to import into a database. The most straightforward way of creating a fixture if you've already got some data is to use the manage.py dumpdata command.
I have multiple apps on the project directory and have each app with its 'fixtures' directory. So using some bash I can do:
python3 manage.py loaddata */fixtures/*.json
And that expands all of the json files inside of the fixtures directory on each app in my project. You can test it by simply doing:
ls */fixtures/*.json

Using $ python manage.py loaddata myfixtures/*.json would work as Bash will substitute the wildcard to a list of matching filenames.
