“We are so excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of CMA Fest this year!” CMA CEO Sarah Trahern says in a press release. “A lot has changed since our early days of Fan Fair, but all these years later, the heart of the festival remains that special connection between the fans and the artists. We are truly grateful to everyone who has supported us throughout the years, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with all of our attendees in June. Stay tuned for much more!”
Ticket proceeds from the festival benefit the CMA Foundation which supports music education programs across the country. The festival will be filmed and aired as a TV special on ABC in the summer of 2023.
