The 10th Annual Tom Tom Festival will be April 20-24, 2022. A cultural experience throughout the historic downtown, the Festival connects neighbors and friends, new and old, through music, art, ideas, and performances. The five day event will include the first ever Downtown Mall Block Party, a new orleans-style event along the nationally recognized pedestrian mall with eight performance stages. Throughout the week, a variety of competitions, concerts, showcases, and parties will highlight “Tomorrow’s Charlottesville,” and connect diverse communities to share ideas and build a brighter future for Charlottesville.
