About Us

Teenage Garage Band Palooza is a New Jersey 501(c)(3) nonprofit festival that gives young musicians something every great artist needs: a place to start. We provide teen bands with real stages, pro-level sound and gear, and a community that’s here to cheer them on.

Our mission is simple: to ignite the next generation of musicians by giving teens a stage, a sound, and a scene — and to make sure cost is never a barrier. Thanks to donations, grants, and community partners, we’re able to supply house gear (like drum kits, amps, and PA systems), cover production costs, and keep our shows free and family-friendly.

We host multiple festivals per year — in parks, on porches, and in venues across Northern New Jersey — all focused on showcasing teen talent and creating a local music scene that rocks.

If you’re a young band, a potential sponsor, or a local supporter, we’d love to connect.
