The 2013 CMA Fest brought $31.5 million in tourism spending this past June, according to Country Aircheck. This is an increase of $1.5 million over last year, and is $16 million more than the first time it was held downtown in 2001.
“The CMA Music Festival is Nashville’s triple-crown,” says NCVC Pres./CEO Butch Spyridon. “It is the city’s largest festival. It generates the most economic impact and it provides prime time, national network exposure. The event continues to grow and evolve and outperform its record success every year. We are proud to have such a signature event that fits perfectly with our brand in Nashville.”
Next year’s CMA Fest will be held from June 5-8, 2014.
