βοΈ The Tom Tom Festival is Charlottesvilleβs annual celebration of music, art, and big ideas. Each spring, it transforms the city into a creative playground filled with live performances, community events, and conversations that inspire connection and change.Our 2026 theme, ππ’π¨π₯πππ, invites us to explore what it means to take risks, bridge divides, and shape a shared future together. Through music, art, and dialogue, weβll look at how courage shows up in our lives, our neighborhoods, and our communities β and how it can spark hope and action. π
What does courage mean to you? Where do you see bravery and resilience in your world? Your ideas and stories will help shape the conversations that define this yearβs Festival.

Talks, workshops, and keynotes bring together leaders, creators, and community members to share ideas, build trust, and inspire progress.
