13TH ANNUAL
TOM TOM
FESTIVAL
APRIL 16—20 | CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
Music. Art. Ideas. A festival about the future of our community.
[OUR 2025 THEME]
Transforming the way we think, live, and lead.
This April 16-20, join us for a Festival dedicated to innovating communities and shaping a shared future. Our 2025 theme, EVOLVE, explores how we — as individuals, communities, organizations, and societies — adapt to change and grow into something new. Harnessing hope, creativity, and determination, we turn challenging circumstances into strength and resilience. This April, co-create a celebration of music, art, and ideas, and become part of a community of change-makers who aren’t just reacting to the past but who are dreaming the future.

IDEAS BY DAY
Our hometown needs big ideas and passionate people willing to step and bring them to life. Tom Tom connects these engaged citizens and leaders across backgrounds and sectors to dream big. Talks, workshops, and keynotes facilitate connections, build trust, and inspire action.
CELEBRATION BY NIGHT
We believe in having fun, and the Festival is a testament to it. Some of Charlottesville’s biggest and most memorable celebrations happen here. Whether it’s a massive Downtown Mall Block Party, multi-genre concerts, or fabulous dance events, it’s all about bringing the community together to build friendship and trust.
