- Ask the Intern Your Festival Questions
Hello there fellow Country Music fanatic! My name is Tommie and I’m currently a CMA intern. I must say, it’s pretty cool being on the inside of the organization that puts on this awesome event each year, CMA Music Festival. I imagine you may have questions about the Festival and that’s what I’m here for – to help you anyway I can. Just “ask the intern” by emailing your question to this address: fancomments(at)cmaworld(dot)com
Question: Could you please tell me what time the kickoff parade/ block party is on Wednesday June 4th? I've searched all over the CMA Music Festival website and can't seem to find out what time it starts/ ends. Any info on this subject would be great! Thankx, Michelle, from Vermont
Answer: Hi Michelle from Vermont! The Wednesday Experience is something everybody is really looking forward too, so we are getting this question from a lot of fans. And believe me- we hear you! The CMA is putting together a really fantastic FREE Parade and Concert Block Party for Wednesday, so I encourage you to plan on attending. Trust me- you don’t want to miss this! We have yet to confirm and announce the starting time. Just keep checking in to the schedule page on www.cmafest.com, because as soon as we know- you will too! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm Michelle! Hope to see you in June!
