Free admission to Country Music Hall of Fame on 'Ford Community Day'

Christmas is coming early for those planning a weekend visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

On Sunday, December 19, the museum (and partner Ford Motor Company) holds its 13th "Ford Community Day," offering free admission from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The offer extends to free tours of Hatch Show Print and RCA Studio B (though availability is on a first-come, first-served basis).

Big Machine Label Group artists Callista Clark, Abbey Cone and Tiera will give a free performance at the museum's CMA Theater, and other Sunday events include a songwriter session with Georgia Middleman and a concert by award-winning bluegrass group Sister Sadie. On the family side, kids can take part in line-dancing lessons and a ukulele workshop, among several activities.

On top of all the other attractions, Community Day offers a chance for visitors to take a spin through new exhibits dedicated to Bill Anderson and Martina McBride, or spot the three latest additions to the hall's famed rotunda: 2020 inductees Hank Williams Jr., Marty Stuart and Dean Dillon.
