​ 
On Hiatus:
From their Facebook Page:
"After 10 years of bringing the best in country music to Louisiana, Bayou Country Superfest will be on hiatus until further notice. We thank the thousands of fans from all over the country who came to Baton Rouge and New Orleans for the party, and all of the event sponsors who helped make the Festival a Memorial Day Weekend tradition over the past decade."

Del Fest

11400 Moss Ave.
Cumberland, MD 21502
​May 27–May 30, 2021 (Cumberland, Maryland)
DelFest is held at the beautiful Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD (2.5 hrs from Baltimore and DC). 
 
The festival originated from the desire to create a family-friendly music festival celebrating the rich legacy of McCoury Music while creating a forum for world-class musical collaborations and to showcase fresh new talent with a down-home feeling.
 
Personally chosen by Del, the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD served as the perfect location for DelFest–nestled along the Potomac River in the scenic Appalachian Mountains, the Fairgrounds are convenient to four major airports and easily reached by rail or road. The city of Cumberland is also a great host offering multiple hotel options, a charming downtown and great amenities including biking, a steam train engine and museum, and some top-notch dining.
 
In addition to traditional stage sets by these world-class artists, attendees can again expect to see one-of-a-kind collaborations, special guest sit-ins, various tributes to Del McCoury and his musical legacy, intimate appearances, both at unique “playshops”—informal workshops where the emphasis will be on performance rather than instruction—and in late night indoor performances and picking sessions. Delfest will be immediately preceded by a 3-day Music Academy hosted by The Travelin’ McCourys and other all star players.
