Fans celebrate 10 years in a row with Del McCoury  Del fan with Del hand fan

Fans at Bloomin’ Bluegrass 2024 celebrated Del McCoury’s tenth appearance in a row (2015 through 2024) on the Bloomin’ Bluegrass stage by surprising him with 1000 custom Del (hand) fans!  We had fun – and you may be in our pictures!  Click on the Del fan at right to see, or click here or here or here for alternate shots!  (Our thanks to Nate Dalzell, Randy Watkins, and Ken Corey for the photos!)

Bluegrass Music and Bluegrass Music Festivals in TexasIf you want to connect with jammers, fans, bluegrass music festivals, and other bluegrass music events in Texas, then you’re in the right place. The Bluegrass Heritage Foundation exists to preserve and promote the heritage of bluegrass music. We focus on presenting bluegrass music and bluegrass music festivals in Texas. We work to educate people about our favorite kind of music in many ways, such as programs and workshops, public performances of bluegrass music, and the Bluegrass Heritage Radio Show. Because of our wonderful partnerships with cities around D/FW, many of our bluegrass music festivals are free with no ticket required! 

Of course, our most important effort is the free bluegrass instrument lending program for young people – Play It Forward!®  The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with an all-volunteer staff that loves to present bluegrass music and bluegrass music festivals in Texas. Please contact us with any questions.
