FRIDAY APRIL 21 / 9PM - 1AM
COMMON HOUSE
The theme of the 11th Annual Tom Tom Festival is FUTURE FORWARD—and it's all bringing many different communities together to build a brighter tomorrow.
We think dancing is a pretty big part of that!
In partnership with FUN Cville, we’ll be heading to Common House for multi-level dance parties with different genres and DJs. So get your dancing shoes, and a fun outfit, and grab your friends! Bring all the best vibes for two nights out in the community.
For PARADISE, we’ll be supporting JUST HELP AFRICA, the non-profit efforts of Tom Tom Board Member, Eze Amos, and Dance Series Hosts, Tunji Soroye & Zikki Munyao, to bring resources to their communities in Nigeria.

::::::: JUST HELP AFRICA :::::::::
Our Host Committee Members have big hearts. Part of this engagement at Tom Tom will be to highlight and elevate the work of Tunji Soroye, Zikki Munyao, & Eze Amos, and their new nonprofit, JUST HELP.
As a native Nigerian, Tunji started Just Help because he saw firsthand the difference that something considered "very little" in the US could make in his home community in Africa. Starting with a youth development program centered around basketball, JUST HELP focuses on education and providing access to clean water.
