Nashville tourists, locals, country music fans and musicians took to the streets over the weekend for CMA Fest.

According to the Country Music Association, they came from all 50 states and 46 countries.

“This year’s CMA Fest was truly a celebration of community and collaboration,” CMA CEO Sarah Trahern said in a statement. “From country icons returning to the festival scene, to emerging bands reaching new audiences for the first time, seeing fans and the industry embrace our genre in such a meaningful way was the perfect way to kick off the next 50 years.”

More than 300 performers performed on six stages in the city, as well as at Nissan Stadium and Music City Center. Many acts reached capacity, with some fans even lining up more than 12 hours ahead of time to watch the festival begin, country icon Dolly Parton told Entertainment Tonight co-host Rachel Smith.
