Del Fest

Allegany County Fairgrounds
11400 Moss Ave. Cumberland, MD 21502 |
May 22 – May 26, 2025 (Cumberland, Maryland) To be moved to Bluegrass page 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. ARTISTS (Lineup and Schedule subject to change) EMCEE: Joe Craven The Del Mccoury Band, Clay Street Unit, Dan Tyminski Band, Dre Anders, Jigjam, Kitchen Dwellers, Larry Keel Experience, Larry Sparks, Leftover Salmon, Matteo Mancuso, Megan Jean'S Secret Family, Sierra Ferrel, Steve Poltz, The California Honeydrops, The Last Revel, The Price Sisters, The Steel Wheels, The Steeldrivers, The Travelin' Mccourys, The Wood Brothers, Tim O'Brien Band, Tophouse, Wyatt Ellis, Asleep At The Wheel, Blue Highway, Danny Paisley & The Southern Grass, Darrell Scott String Band, Gaelic Storm, Jerry & Dawg Revisited, Kenny & Amanda Smith, Larkin Poe, Mountain Grass Unit, Railroad Earth, Sister Sadie, The Broomestix, The Wilson Springs Hotel TICKETS (Subject to change.
