The 2025 Band Lineup is Here!
What is Techapalooza?
Started in 2012, Techapalooza is an annual live concert event featuring the best musical talent in the Winnipeg IT community. Musicians with “day jobs” in the IT sector form bands to perform for an enthusiastic crowd in hopes that they will be voted “Fan Favourite.” Event proceeds go directly to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
Going For A Million!
With our 13th annual event for CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, we’re in striking distance of reaching a cumulative total over $1,000,000 raised for CancerCare Manitoba.
Join us for a fun event, support a great cause,
and Band Together with us to beat cancer!
Why CancerCare Manitoba Foundation?
Fundraising was not an afterthought for Techapalooza; the event was founded with CancerCare already in mind.
Nearly 7,000 Manitobans will face a cancer diagnosis this year.
Fortunately, CancerCare Manitoba has an internationally-recognized team of professionals to provide first-rate care.
