What is Chipapalooza?

Chipapalooza is a summer charity concert for diabetes, based in Maryland. However, Chipapalooza is more than your average concert for a good cause - it is also the best party you will go to all summer. To get a feel for what Chipapalooza is all about, meditate on these words:

Movement

Light

Sound

New Friendships-Old Friendships

Summer, Sunshine

Music. Dance.

That Cool Local Band

After-Party

All-Nighter Euphoria

Helping Others.

Charity. Community.

Laughter

Memory

Our Story

The Chipapalooza Concert was started by three high school friends - Chip Hiden, Chris Trenner, and Pat Gibson. The first concert took place in Hiden's backyard and featured the band All Time Low, who is now on MTV and touring the world. The first show raised over a thousand dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Over 300 people attended and demanded that the concert become an annual tradition. Since then, the concert has continued to grow, being held in bigger venues, featuring nationally touring acts, and raising more money for charity. Now in our sixth year, we are getting organized to bring you the biggest and best summer party yet. For more information, check out our blog or visit the shows section.
