The NJMEA Middle School Choral Festival is open to all choirs in grades 5 – 9. This annual event is held at two locations with one in the north at Rutgers University and the other in the south at Rowan University.

The purpose of the Junior High School-Middle School Choral Festival is to provide a non-competitive atmosphere through which choral groups are given the opportunity to perform for and listen to their peers. The festival also provides for the development of choral art through the performance of fine choral literature.
