Formerly known as Fan Fair, the CMA Music Festival features nightly concerts at Nashville's LP Field, the home of the Tennessee Titans, plus smaller shows in several venues downtown and exhibit booths where fans can meet many of country's stars and secure photos and autographs.

In addition to nightly concerts and daily autograph sessions, festivities included non-stop music during the day, shopping and lifestyle exhibits, CMA Celebrity Close Up sessions, competitions in the Chevy Sports Zone and after-hours activities in the clubs and bars around downtown Nashville.
Half the net proceeds from the festival are donated to the "Keep the Music Playing" charity campaign, which supports music education in metro Nashville's public school system.
To date, the CMA has donated more than $1 million to the cause, according to a press release.
Last year, the CMA Music Festival drew a record-setting 191,000 fans from all over the world and featured more than 400 artists and celebrities, 100 hours of concerts and 35 hours of autograph signings.
