15th Annual Tom Tom Festival | NEXTGEN
Description
The 15th Annual Festival: NEXTGEN
A city-wide celebration of music, art, and ideas.
Tom Tom, aka “Tomorrow Tomorrow,” is a nonprofit music, art, and ideas festival that gathers 25,000+ people to explore the future of community. It’s a bold and innovative opportunity to explore themes of technology, entrepreneurship, spirituality, criminal justice, education, housing, consciousness and wellness, all while creating the connections that catalyze community all through the year.
NEXTGEN: Innovating What Comes Next
Tom Tom has always been a festival about the future, but in 2027, the future feels especially close.
New technologies are changing how we work, learn, create, and connect. We all are witnessing seismic shifts in business, science, health, education, and civic life. And a new generation is coming of age in a world that feels full of possibility, but also profound uncertainty.
So this year, we’re asking the question: Are we ready?
NEXTGEN is about what comes next: the ideas, technologies, leaders, and institutions that will shape the years ahead. And at the 15th Annual Tom Tom Festival, we’ll gather in the public square amidst culture and community, to foster the relationships that will empower that future.
