Launched in 2012, Tom Tom Founders Festival has become Charlottesville’s premiere music, arts and food event held every spring. We’re only a few months off now – it starts April 11-17 – but the event has made pretty big impacts in the area, with over $750,000 invested and granted to regional startups, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits.

As mentioned above, there’s food, art, and speakers to help inspire your stomach, brain, and life – but there’s also a mess of AMAZING Virginia bands set to inspire your feet as well.
