We are dedicated to enriching our community by providing accessible and high-quality cultural and creative experiences to the most diverse unincorporated city in the country.

About The Garage:
The Garage is nestled at the back of a 77 acre horse farm, Honey Acres, in Boyds, Maryland. The rural farm setting offer a refreshing alternative to other east coast music scenes centralized in cities like Baltimore, New York, or Philadelphia. The Garage’s mission is to create a safe and welcoming space for anyone to come enjoy the wonders of live music and agriculture. All these wonders set The Garage aside from it’s urban counterparts and have thus far created a returning audience of local, and not so local, attendees who know they can show up on any given night for a good time. Bands often remark how refreshing The Garage is thanks to it’s rural setting, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly staff. If you want to enjoy live music and pet some horses, you know where to be.
