Cheap Hotels for CMA Fest 2026 Nashville
CMA Fest 2026
June 4-7, 2026
Price spike: 100-200%
Downtown hotels double or triple their rates during CMA Fest week. Hotels near Broadway and the stadium see the worst spikes. Many properties impose 3-4 night minimums. Midtown and airport hotels also increase but less dramatically — typically 50-80% above normal.
💡 Tip: Book 4-6 months ahead. Consider staying in midtown or near the airport — a $12 Uber beats paying $100+ extra per night downtown. The Fairgrounds area has budget motels with free parking that are a short ride to Broadway. Also check rates for the Thursday night arrival — Friday/Saturday are the priciest.
CMA Fest (formerly CMA Music Festival) is the world's largest country music festival, bringing 80,000+ fans to downtown Nashville for four days of concerts, meet-and-greets, and fan events. Nightly stadium shows at Nissan Stadium and free daytime stages along Broadway make it the biggest hotel price spike of the summer.
