CMA Fest Cancelled for Second Year in a Row

By Stefanie Richardson / March 2, 2021

In a not so surprising statement released today, 3.2.21, the Country Music Association announced that its annual CMA Fest is cancelled… again. The annual summer pilgrimage to Music City began in 1972, then known as “Fan Fest.” Nashville comes to life, even more than it already does on a daily basis, as thousands and thousands of fans descend upon downtown for a weekend full of concerts & fun. Our hearts were broken in 2020 as it was cancelled for the first time due to COVID-19. CMA quickly rescheduled dates for 2021, and no one could’ve predicted how this would all turn out. While vaccines are on the rise, CMA announced that they “still face several challenges that prevent us from bringing our fans around the world to the CMA Fest experience they have come to expect.” They go on to say, “But rest assured, we have already started planning what will be the most EPIC celebration of Country Music next summer.” The dates have announced as June 9-12, 2022. Keep your fingers crossed!!

I was born & raised in Orlando, but chased my dream of living in Tennessee. There are plenty of more dreams to chase, and living here was the first step. I grew up on country music and remember riding around in my dad’s truck singing along to Reba, The Judds, and of course, King George. Pure Country was a movie that played often in our house. These days, I absolutely love following “up and coming” artists. Cale Dodds is my favorite; and I’m at his shows more often than not! I love everything about country music; the way artists appreciate their fan base, the loyalty the fans show their favorite performers, and how it brings people together. I am so thankful for the experiences and friendships that Got Country has given me.
