The 2013 CMA Music Fest is Fast Approaching! A Trip to Nashville Sounds Like Music to Our Ears!

If you love, love, LOVE country music, a trip to the CMA Music Fest should be at the top of your “To Do” list this year. Almost all of your favorite country music performers will be in Music City with the common goal of thanking of you, the fans, for your loyal support.

Music is literally on almost every corner during CMA Music Fest! It is the perfect time to check out new artists and add new music to your play list! Are you totally fine with your regular favorites? Check their schedule! Chances are they have a lot going on that week too and you’re invited to be right there while they are “working.”

Officially, CMA Music Fest is June 6 through June 9. That should be plenty of time for people with limited number of vacation days to have an amazing weekend full of great music. It’s highly recommended to try to get Nashville early for all the pre-activities if you can though. We recommend arriving on Sunday, June 2, getting plenty of rest, and then diving into all the cool stuff on Monday!

Below we break down some of the action that is happening during CMA Music Fest. Follow us on Twitter and tell us if we have forgot to mention any of the events that you are most looking forward too! Tweet us during the week too from your favorite events!
