15TH ANNUAL
APRIL 21-25, 2027 | CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
Tom Tom has always been a festival about the future — but in 2027, the future feels especially close. New technologies are changing how we work, learn, create, and connect. We see seismic shifts in business, science, health, education, and civic life. And a new generation is coming of age in a world that feels full of possibility, but also profound uncertainty. So this year, we’re asking the question: Are we ready?

IDEAS BY DAY
Communities need 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.
