CMA Music Festival - Nashville TN - Thursday to Sunday June 10-13, 2010
The CMA Music Festival brings Country Music lovers to Downtown Nashville from near and far. There are 4 days of free concerts and activities. The evening concerts are just $30/night or you can buy the package for $110-$155. Buying the package gives visitors access to the Greased Lighting Fan Fair Hall, at the Nashville Convention Center, where fans can meet their favorite performers and get autographs.
Years ago most people knew this as Fan Fair. It started in 1972 with just 5000 people attending. Last year, 2009, there were over 56,000 people each day! This is one of the few venues where Stars actually rub elbows with their fans in mass. Visitors can follow the schedule of 
events on-line or can get the latest updates on their mobile phones by texting the word SCHEDULE to 66937.

Connie, we went to Fan Fair a few years back when it was held at the fair grounds. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel which was fantastic. A trip well worth making and a lot of fun.
Michael - It just keeps getting bigger and better. Unfortunately the Opryland isn't open for it this year. Many people have been moved to other Hotels around town.
This is really a neat event that happens every year here in Nashville. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate...
Helping you help others live their American dream...
Michael - It didn't cooperate yesterday. I'm hearing that it should get better as the week progresses.
Connie It would appear Mother Nature is not a country music fan like this NM girl
Karen - Mother nature may not be but we had record attendence this year and the heat was truly unbearable!
