VENDING FAIRE
In the Grandstand music meadow you’ll find our Vending Faire, offering a colorful array of quality clothing, jewelry, musical instruments and other crafts that our artisans create and gather from all over the globe. We emphasize handcrafted items that are unique and hard to find in conventional shops. Also find some participating non-profits so you can do good while you’re there.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
DelFest features a wide variety of festival cuisine including local, ethnic, vegetarian, and vegan options. Our drink booths – located in the food court, music meadow and Potomac Stage – feature a variety of craft beers, wine, bottled water, iced teas and a variety of soft drinks. Ice is available in the main food court.
MOUNTAIN MARYLAND
Our region is packed full of opportunities worth exploring, so we invite you to come early or stay late, because four days of music is much more fun when you add in all of the experiences that exist in our mountains.
BAM BEER SHOP
The Brewers Association of Maryland is honored to introduce the “BAM Beer Shop.” This shop will exclusively feature a collection of locally brewed, limited-release beers. Each of these releases is crafted and packaged to celebrate the music of Del McCoury and the one-of-a-kind DelFest experience.
