ON HIATUS From Ramble Jam Web-Site "TO OUR VALUED FANS: The Rotary Club of Farmington would like to thank our amazing fans for supporting Ramble Jam! Whether you were a new fan in 2019 or have been with us since 2011, please know that your support has meant everything to us. Unfortunately, the reality of the country music festival business is that the cost of talent has skyrocketed and competition for fans has increased to the point where Ramble Jam is no longer sustainable in its current form. It is with heavy hearts that members of Farmington Rotary have decided to pause the event for 2020 and do some thoughtful planning to ensure the future health of the Farmington Rotary Club. Ramble Jam has been the annual fundraiser of Farmington Rotary and is entirely led and supported by sponsors and the efforts of countless volunteers. All proceeds from Ramble Jam supported the projects and mission of the club, bringing thousands of people to Farmington each September and providing over $300,000 in donations to local organizations since we began in 2011. This hasn’t been an easy decision, and yet we have an opportunity to grow our story. We’re excited about that! Farmington Rotary would like to take this opportunity to thank its key partners over the years including Houston Productions, Ensemble Creative & Marketing, K102 Radio, DLM Media Solutions, Xpressive Images by Jamie and more, along with hundreds of sponsors and vendors. We could not have done this without you. News on a future event will be posted to the club’s Facebook page and website at www.farmingtonrotarymn.com." |

September 23-September 26, 2021 (Cumberland, Maryland)
Moved From May 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 TBD TICKETS TBD |
