WELCOME!

Who is ready for our 12th annual family reunion?

When we call DelFest a musical family, we mean it. This year isn’t any different from the first eleven DelFests, we just really wanted to draw attention to the fact that so many of these musicians are family to us.

I’ve known for almost 50 years. has played nine DelFests. The boys have toured a lot with Keller and Yonder Mountain. I’ve watched Sierra grow up. I’ve recorded a . I’ve known the Gibson boys for 20+ years. And on and on. These folks are our family, and we hope that DelFest feels like we are all sitting on the front porch jamming.

It doesn’t stop with the musicians.

All of you fans are also our family. The staff of DelFest are family. The people of Cumberland have become family. Every year we get to come together and celebrate with all of you. For us, it really is like going to a family reunion. All that’s missing is the potluck dinner, so you’ll have to settle for some amazing food from our vendors, many who have been with us from year one – making them also family.

So welcome to DelFest #12. We plan to have fun and hope you do too. Let’s treat each other like family (well, family that you like) and have a big ole time. We love you, we thank you, and we appreciate you.

Del (and the entire McCoury Family) May 2019

All levels are welcome.

Funky Flow: Friday & Saturday, 10:15-11:15am Caroline will guide you through traditional yoga poses and throw in some fun and funky variations to challenge your balance, focus your breath, and ease the kinks in your festy body! This class will be just the right combination of strength and stretch.

Slow Mo Flow: Sunday, 10:15-11:15am On Sunday, Caroline will really slow things down to get deep into those tight and tired muscles from the weekend. She will guide you through a very meditative practice, moving nice and slow, and end with some nice long twists and restorative holds.

Clean Vibes will be making every effort to keep the campground and concert areas clean and safe throughout the weekend - but we need your help. Please use the bags you were given when you arrived to keep your camping area clean. Every vehicle received two bags: one is for trash (clear bag destined for landfill) and one is for ecyclingr (blue bag for empty cans and plastic bottles). All aluminum and plastic beverage containers can be recycled. Please tie your filled bags and pack out all glass recyclables this year. Carry your bags to the nearest dumpster or collection station. They are marked for trash or recycling. Please break down bulky items before discarding and set any cardboard boxes next to the trash barrels, not inside them.

Help sweep the concert field after the music! At the conclusion of each night’s shows, we will distribute recycling and garbage bags to sweep the concert grounds. Meet in front of the stage for the sweep.

Please help Clean Vibes cultivate cleanliness and ensure that as a community we reduce the size of the ecological footprint we leave behind this weekend.
