Festival Recap
The 12th Annual Tom Tom Festival was truly one for the books.
Our theme of TOGETHER was all about our interconnection, and our shared future. You helped us co-create this year and build the trust and connection that allows Charlottesville to flourish. Block parties, marching bands, conferences, entrepreneur showcases, open houses, thoughtful gatherings, lots of dancing, and so much togetherness. We told a story of what Charlottesville can be.
THANK YOU
for another incredible year of unity, inspiration, and connection.
