Dates: June 7-10
Location: Nashville, Tenn.

The annual CMA Music Festival is the ultimate country fan experience. In addition to four nights of star-studded concerts at Nashville's LP Field, clubs and bars up and down Broadway turn into showcases for up-and-coming and established talent. You never know when a well-known singer will drop in for an impromptu set or autograph signing. The streets are even shut down to traffic to accommodate foot-traffic.

Fan club parties happen throughout the week, as well as more formal autograph signings at the Nashville Convention Center. The CMA Music Festival shows at LP Field typically feature A-list talent, and 2013 promises to be no different. With a hotel room near downtown, one can take in the entire festival on foot -- although you'll want to pack plenty of sunscreen.

There is plenty of music to be heard each day outside of the stadium -- including the Riverfront stage shows -- and many concerts are absolutely free.
