Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson and more to appear at Nashville's CMA Fest's Fan Fair X

Dolly Parton's coming to CMA Fest.

Heading to Music City Center for Fan Fair X was already an essential part of engaging in the Country Music Association's CMA Fest programming. Now, with multiple daily appearances by the multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, another level has been reached.

On June 6, the Country Music Hall of Famer and pop-cultural icon will welcome fans to take part in a conversation with Entertainment Tonight broadcast personality Rachel Smith on the CMA Close-Up Stage. Parton's all-access Pop Up Experience at Fan Fair X will also feature many of Parton's global branding and merchandise items, including sampling and demonstrations from "Good Lookin' Cookin'," the forthcoming cookbook written by Parton and her sister, Rachel Parton George.

Fan Fair X will occur June 6-8 (9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. CT) and June 9 (9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. CT). The venue doors will open daily at 9:30 a.m. CT.

Fan Fair X offers fans unique experiences that are not found anywhere else during CMA Fest. All programming inside Fan Fair X is first come, first served, with hundreds of sessions and performances taking place throughout the four days. Entry into Fan Fair X is included with all CMA Fest four-night stadium passes.

A limited number of single-day ($10) and four-day ($25) Fan Fair X tickets can be purchased now at CMAfest.com/FanFairX. Fans can soon access the Fan Fair X meet-and-greet schedule on the Official CMA Connect App, with additional meet-and-greet sessions added throughout May.
