The festival began in 1972 under the name Fan Fair. The event now draws over 400 artists and celebrities who hold autograph sessions and perform in concerts offered throughout the festival.

The objective was to keep fans from attending the annual radio industry-only convention meant more for disk jockeys and other radio dignitaries that the CMA hosted in the fall. In 2004, the CMA renamed the event the CMA Music Festival to expand its appeal. The festival is now being held after two years.
