About the Weekend

“Tom asked me not to have a funeral but to have a party – like a scene from his artwork – people coming together and having a hell of a good time. We created a celebration – the first TOM’s Bar in 1992 – which has become a Tom of Finland Foundation annual event honoring Tom.” -Durk Dehner, president and cofounder, ToFF.

The theme for the year is “All roads lead to TOM”, a celebration of the idea that Tom of Finland is at the nexus of so many different temporalities and communities.
