If you’ve heard CMA Music Festival veterans discussing the event, they likely will tell you that there’s music and fun around every corner. Downtown Nashville is a beehive of activity and one of the most exciting places to be is Xfinity Fan Fair X.

This part of the four-day festival is actually held indoors in the Music City Center, but just because it’s inside, doesn’t mean they’ve turned off the music or that you can’t see the stars. In fact, there are three stages inside the Music City Center and they host performances as well as intimate interviews, some with Q&A sessions. It’s also…air-conditioned!
