In our continuing series on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network, we are featuring some of the people behind Charlottesville’s 250th birthday celebration. In this episode, City of Charlottesville’s Rick Barrick talks with Paul Beyer about his first annual Tom Tom Founders Festival. The festival runs through May 13, 2012.

Listen in to learn about the genesis of the festival and the future Beyer sees for it. You will also learn about the music festival planned for the Downtown Mall on May 11th and 12th. Fifty to seventy bands are expected to perform. Paul also talks about the City as Canvas, a month of free art and innovation programming that includes panels, workshops, concerts, and exhibitions.
