Ending CMA Fest 2024 On A High – Day 4

With thunderstorms predicted in Nashville on June 9, the rain and slightly cooler weather was a relief from the heat on the festival’s final day. Well, maybe only for us winter-loving beings.

Day 4 was a more chill and social day for me. I hadn’t a full list of places that I wanted/needed to be like previous days and again, with the cooler weather, I felt more inspired to walk around, see the sights, experience more of Nashville and discover whatever new music took my fancy.

I was truly inspired at CMA Fest 2024 – Day 3

I knew day three was going to be a good one with Sounds Australia putting on an all day Aussie BBQ showcase, followed by securing tickets to Nissan Stadium that night.

I Made Mistakes at CMA Fest 2024 So You Don’t Have To – Day 1

I had landed in Nashville the night before, unprepared for what was to come. Having never been to Nashville, the United States of America or CMA Fest, I had no idea what to expect, especially, considering my trip was booked last minute. The first thing I did was download the CMA Fest app. I like having a loose plan when I travel so this was perfect in telling me which artist was playing, when and on what stage – which was helpful yet also flawed (but more on this later).

Formally known as Fan Fair, CMA Fest began in 1972. This year’s festival raised more than $2.5 million for music education and saw more than 90,000 people flock to Nashville, Tennessee.
