Downtown Nashville is filled with fun things to do even when CMA Fest is not in town. Just to name a few, make sure you check out the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Music City Walk of Fame, Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Frist Art Museum which are located in downtown Music City.
CMA Fest will take place right in the middle of Broadway, Nashville's famed Honky Tonk Highway. Do take the time to venture to as many as you can while in town. Each one is guaranteed to have cold drinks and FREE live music. Just remember to bring cash for the tip jar.
CMA Fest might be the biggest thing happening but it wasn't the only thing! Venues, attractions, and more across Nashville hosted special events that you should have been part of.
