CMA Fest is about more than just concerts and country music—it’s about making a difference. All artists perform and participate for free to support the CMA Foundation, with a portion of ticket proceeds going toward high-quality music education programs across the United States. This festival is an event that truly gives back.

The nightly concerts are filmed each night for a national television special that will air on ABC and Hulu later this summer. The TV special will be executive produced and written by Robert Deaton and directed by Alan Carter.
