The CMA Fest, formerly named CMA Music Festival until 2018, is a four-day Music festival centered on country music, hosted each June by the Country Music Association (CMA) in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Beginning in 1972 under the name Fan Fair, the event now draws approximately 350 artists and celebrities who hold autograph sessions and perform in concerts offered throughout the festival.
Proceeds from the festival benefit music education programs in public schools through the charitable arm of CMA, the CMA Foundation.
