Each year we offer the opportunity for local non-profits, businesses, and passionate individuals to help tell the story of Charlottesville’s future by contributing a program to the Festival.

JOIN THE PARTY
From the beginning, Tom Tom’s success has relied on hundreds of participating and supporting organizations to share their skills, interests, and missions and help build a brighter tomorrow.
Are you part of a local organization that wants to host an event during the 11th Annual Tom Tom Festival: FUTURE FORWARD? We'd love to partner with you! Reach out to us below and let’s make it happen.
CRITERIA
Partner events can be a wide range of programming: a charity run, a mini-festival, a series of discussions or lectures, a competition or workshop. They can be free or ticketed. The main thing, they must add some kind of value to the Charlottesville community that aligns with the core principles of the Festival.
What do we look for?
Partner Programs are curated by the Tom Tom Team. We look for engaging public facing events that highlight important work being done in the community, and ideally feature collaborations between organizations that encourage year-round partnerships.
