The 8th Annual CMA Music Festival Kick-Off Parade ushers in the weekend’s festivities on Wednesday, June 6. Featuring Chevrolet cars, Country artists, celebrities, balloons, and the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales, the annual parade is the official start of CMA Music Festival. Don’t miss the “Keep the Music Playing” All-Stars Marching Band, featuring kids from Metro Nashville Public Schools who have benefitted from CMA’s music education initiative. The parade starts at 10th Avenue on Broadway and travels down to the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage, so make sure to get your spot early for a front row view of the fun!
When the parade ends, the party is just beginning at the 7th Annual CMA Music Festival Block Party. Free and open to the public, the Block Party gets the music started with smokin’ performances from some of Country Music’s hot new stars on the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage.
