Summit + Festival
Small cities are big here. Connect with experts, practitioners, civic leaders and innovators from across the country. The Summit convenes visionaries like you to share ideas and drive the conversation about tomorrow's cities. Top each day off with festival events that showcase our own hometown — workshops, performances, concerts, competitions, and a three-day block party, all on our historic downtown mall.





Music. Art. Food. Community.
Unwind after each inspirational day at Charlottesville’s biggest party of the year. The Festival transforms the historic downtown into a creative campus with workshops, performances, headlining conversations, concerts, competitions, and a massive three-day block party.
What do our hometowns need to thrive in the 21st century? How do we improve the quality of life for all our residents? The Summit convenes forward-thinking leaders and citizens from across the country to trade solutions and share in important conversations about the future of our hometowns.
