Country music fans know there’s no other event with as much hype as the Canadian Country Music Awards – and Edmonton is hosting this year!
The 2024 CCMA Awards presented by TD is the biggest night in Canadian Country Music, and it’s back in Edmonton for the first time in 10 years! This isn’t just an awards show. It’s a week-long celebration of all things country music. It’s also the perfect excuse to pack your bags and head to Edmonton for a weekend!
It all started back in 1977 as an annual event to increase exposure for Canada’s country music artists. Today, Country Music Week is made up of 3 components. A music festival, the CCMA Awards Show, and an industry conference with workshops, seminars, and networking receptions.
This year’s CCMAs will be hosted by global country superstar Thomas Rhett, eight-time Academy of Country Music Awards winner and two-time Country Music Association Awards winner with 16 number-one hits!
Excited yet? Dust off your cowboy boots and keep reading to see what you can expect this year.
This year’s CCMA is promising to be bigger and better than ever. There will be a star-studded lineup featuring chart-toppers and rising indie talents alike. Some of the performers include country-pop sensation, Dasha, CCMA Award winners Jade Eagleson, Brett Kissel and The Reklaws, JUNO Award winner Dallas Smith, MacKenzie Porter, and of course Thomas Rhett.
Expect jaw-dropping performances, unforgettable collaborations, meet and greets, and maybe even a surprise guest or two!
While you might be in town for the CCMA Awards, there’s plenty to keep you busy in between events.
