In July of 2017, Del McCoury began sending out hand rolled parchment invitations to a select group of deserving musical participants to join his DelFest 2018 Bluegrass Congress.  The Bluegrass Congress, which includes Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton, and Stuart Duncan, will officially be called to order at DelFest. These musicians represent the best at what they do in the field of Bluegrass and will convene on Saturday evening (May 26th), joining the Del McCoury Band for a picking party like none other in festival history. In addition to the Saturday evening show, most members of Congress will play their own set during DelFest.
