The INAUGURAL & Tomtoberfest, an Elliewood Block Party and Corner Crawl: a FREE day of grilling, live music and beer gardens, that celebrates Innovation at UVA and in the Community.
**** TOMTOBERFEST
The “Tom” is Tom Tom, an innovation festival sparking new ideas in music, art, design, commerce & community that launched April 2012 with a 55 band music festival, and a month of free art & innovation programming. The “Toberfest” is beer, music and good times on one of Cville’s iconic streets, a New-Orleans-esqe dash of patios, mature trees, and historic homes.
**** INNOVATION
Tomtoberfest will be raising awareness about Innovation programming. This includes a grill out at Hack Cville, the new student tech incubator, and a day of events at UVA OpenGrounds, a new project to spur collaboration between Departments (across from the White Spot). This includes a Design Challenge with a City Councilor & the UVA Architecture Chair to re-imagine a gateway to UVA.
**** LIVE MUSIC & BEER GARDENS & GRILLING
An afternoon enjoying great bands from the community and the university. All while playing games and enjoying the day on the patios of Elliewood.
**** PASSPORT / CORNER CRAWL
The day is FREE, but if you want to help support the event, raise money for charity, and participate in a unique Corner Crawl, buy a TOMTOBERFEST PASSPORT In the week before. The Passport is only $5 and comes with a mug. The proceeds will go to The Community Investment Collaborative. It will get you deals at Corner restaurants & retailers.
(If you shop at DUO, Finch, Ragged Mtn Running, Student Book Store, et al, you'll save more buying the passport and getting a deal)
It will also lead you on a delicious craft and seasonal beer tour across the Corner. Receive a stamp at every bar you come to as you traverse this exciting and exhilarating world.
