WELCOME TO THE GARAGE
you belong here
A unique combination of live music and a working horse farm create the community driven art space that is 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.
What's The situation?
The Garage is facing ongoing legal battles with Montgomery County's Department of Permitting Services (DPS). While we are doing our best to continue to deliver the great outdoors, shows, art, and community to all our beloved patrons, we also have to keep in mind the all seeing eye of the government. The issue is not noise, it's a land use issue. Our land is zoned for agriculture and there have been complaints that we are using our land for recreation and entertainment. Despite our efforts to find a middle ground with those who have complained and with DPS, no solution has been found quite yet.

We love and care about the community we have created and do everything we can to keep on keeping on. Thanks for your patience folks!
