Good morning!

This week we have the Tom Tom festival, sheep shearing, and the fast approaching Burger Week! 🍔

— James

This weekend is packed with events from the 14th annual Tom Tom Festival.

This years theme is Courage, and has a wide range of events, from live music to speaker summits.

You can see the 2026 Tom Tom website here for more details, and the full schedule here.

April 27th - May 3rd is Charlottesville’s Burger Week. Traditional and plant based delights.

Participating burger joints will be offering $8-$9 signature burgers for Burger Week.

You can see the current list of participating restaurants. The website is a little rough, so at the moment you can’t see all of the special options. But hopefully they will be fixing those issues before the 27th comes around.

Either way, you can still see what places to check out!
