Country music's biggest stars will takeover downtown Nashville for the world's longest-running country music festival from June 5-8. CMA Fest will have 10 stages across Nashville, many of them free to the public, with the biggest performances taking place at Nissan Stadium. From bag policies to road closures, FOX 17 News has you covered.

CMA Fest will air a three-hour TV special June 26. The special will air at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The program is hosted by country stars Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde, according to the music festival. You can watch the CMA Fest special on ABC on June 26, or watch the program the next day on Hulu, according to the music festival.

CMA Fest is taking over downtown Nashville this week, but the event is more than 2 square miles of country music nirvana. It's also a sprawling four-day fundraiser. Why it matters: The CMA Foundation has pumped more than $30 million of festival earnings into music education around the nation.
