With inflatables for the kids, main stage entertainment perfect for all ages, and family-friendly activities such as arts and crafts, balloon animals, caricaturists, face painting and more, it’s easy to see why the Family Zone is the right spot to wile away the CMA Music Fest days. Look for the ABC Block Party to rock the Park Friday through Saturday, and catch the YWCA Celebrity Auction with Martina McBride on Sunday!

Location: Walk of Fame Park, 4th to 5th Avenues (between the Downtown Hilton and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum)

"Ultimate K9 Sports Show presented by Waggin' Train Dog Treats" will entertain fans in the Family Zone. These furry athletes from K9s in Flight put on a show full of cutting edge, high flying acrobatics. And they have all been rescued or adopted from shelters all over the country. Country artists will be asked to help put these pups through their paces, and participants include Lynn Anderson, Sherrie Austin, The Band Perry, Jason Meadows, Randy Montana, Danielle Peck, and Julie Roberts.

Family friendly entertainment is available at the Family Zone Main Stage. Fans can enjoy a variety of performers and storytelling. Slated to appear are the Junie B. Jones Stupid Smelly Bus Tour; Nashville Zoo "Wildlife on Wheels"; Prime Tyme Athletics Cheerleading Competition; Random House Children's Books Celebrity Storytelling with Katie Armiger, Whitney Duncan, Jesse Lee, and Jamie O'Neal; and the Ronald McDonald Magic Show.
