Founders Summit at the Tom Tom Festival – April 13-15

Tom Tom’s mission is to celebrate and empower the founders of creative, civic, and entrepreneurial projects. The signature project of the Foundation, the Tom Tom Founders Festival, occurs each April over Thomas Jefferson’s birthday week (April 13).

Like the founding polymath, the Founders Festival explores diverse disciplines – society, education, energy, food, and technology — and links the rich history of the City with an exploration into the future. Ultimately, the festival seeks to leave lasting legacies of creativity throughout Charlottesville through public art and business formation.
