CMA Music Festival

ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

Four-night stadium passes cover the evening shows at Nissan Stadium, where the biggest names in country music close out each night. The 2027 lineup hasn't been announced yet, so follow CMAfest.com for artist news.

During the day, the festival spreads across downtown with stages, fan experiences, and autograph sessions. In recent years, daytime stages such as those at Riverfront Park have been free and open to everyone. CMA Fest is also filmed for a national TV special on ABC and Hulu.

ON-SITE AMENITIES

The new Nissan Stadium seats about 60,000 under a translucent roof, with wide concourses and cashless, quick-serve concessions. It also includes Bluebird East, an outpost of the famous Bluebird Cafe, and the first satellite location of Robert's Western World.

Downtown, you'll find food trucks, bars, and restaurants within walking distance of the stages. June in Nashville is hot and humid, so bring sunscreen and a refillable water bottle, and check the festival's bag policy before you go.

LOCATION

The new Nissan Stadium sits on Nashville's East Bank, across the Cumberland River from Lower Broadway, in ZIP code 37213. CMA Fest runs from Thursday, June 10, to Sunday, June 13, 2027, with stadium shows each night starting around 5 p.m. and daytime events spread across downtown.

FAQs About RVing to CMA Fest

Can I camp in my RV at CMA Fest?

No. There's no RV camping or overnight RV parking at the stadium or downtown. Stay at a campground outside the city center and ride in for the shows.

Where should I park my RV?

Most RVers stay in Music Valley near the Grand Ole Opry, about 15 minutes from downtown without traffic. Lake campgrounds east of the city are another good option if you want more space.

How do I get to the stadium?

Rideshare is the easiest choice, though pickup lines get long after the stadium shows. From downtown, you can also walk across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge to the East Bank.

When will the lineup come out?

The 2027 artists haven't been announced yet. Check CMAfest.com and the festival's social channels for lineup news, and buy passes early if you want the best seats.

RVING AT THE EVENT

Book your Nashville campsite early, since CMA Fest is one of the busiest weeks of the year in Music City. Most RVers base their trip in Music Valley, home to the Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills.

• Nashville KOA Resort sits in Music Valley near the Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills, with RV sites and resort amenities.

• Two Rivers Campground is also in Music Valley, a short drive from downtown.

For a quieter stay, look at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds around J. Percy Priest Lake, east of the city. You'll trade a longer drive for lake views and more elbow room.

Wherever you stay, plan to leave the RV parked during festival days. Downtown streets close for events, parking is tight, and traffic backs up near the river at night. Confirm your site's length limits and hookups before you book.

WHERE TO STAY

Hotels downtown and in The Gulch are walkable to the festival, but they're pricey and sell out early for CMA Fest. Music Valley and the airport area have more options at lower rates.

With extra time, tour the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, catch a show at the Ryman Auditorium, or see the Grand Ole Opry near your campground. The Johnny Cash Museum and the honky-tonks on Lower Broadway are short walks from the daytime stages, and the Cumberland River greenways are good for an early morning bike ride before the crowds arrive.

HOW TO GET THERE

Nashville sits where I-24, I-40, and I-65 meet, so it's an easy drive from most of the Southeast and Midwest. The stadium is on the East Bank, just off I-24 near downtown.

From Music Valley, take Briley Parkway south to I-40 or I-24 into the city. Expect closures around Lower Broadway and the riverfront during festival hours, and give yourself extra time on show nights. Nashville International Airport is about 10 miles east of downtown if part of your group is flying in to meet the RV.

PARKING

Parking details for the new Nissan Stadium haven't been posted yet. Check CMAfest.com before your trip for lots, prices, and any rideshare zones.

Big rigs won't fit in downtown garages, and street parking disappears fast during festival week, so leave the RV at camp. Rideshare, a smaller tow vehicle, or a walk across the pedestrian bridge will save you time and stress. If you drive, arrive early and note where you parked, since many downtown streets close to traffic for events.
