CMA Music Festival

CMA Fest is a four-day country music festival held annually in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, typically in early June. Hosted by the Country Music Association, the event started in 1972 as Fan Fair to give fans a chance to interact with their favorite country music stars. The festival now features hundreds of artists performing on multiple stages throughout the city, with the main nightly concerts taking place at Nissan Stadium. A significant portion of the proceeds from CMA Fest goes toward the CMA Foundation, which supports music education programs across the United States.
