Presented by the Country Music Association, the Annual Fan Fair, CMA Music Festival offers more than 40 hours of concerts and hundreds of artists participate in this event every year.

This is the biggest country music event in the nation, over 40,000 country music fans are expected in attendance.

Country Music Fans from around the world converge on Nashville every year the second week of June and turn Nashville into a non-stop week of concerts, parties and festival fun. This annual event is dedicated to and for Country Music Fans.

The CMA Country Music Festival (formally Fan Fair) moved to it's current downtown location several years ago and what a great move it has turned out to be. Country Music fans now find almost everything they came to see within walking distance.

The CMA Country Music Festival is a huge event with many, many venues and happenings, this can be very intimidating upon arrival and during your visit to Nashville during the week.

We have attempted to make an easy guide for our Nashville Visitors during their CMA Country Music Festival stay.

On behalf of all Nashvillians, "Welcome to Nashville" and I hope you have a great time in Music City USA,
Jan
