ACM Experience FAQs
What is THE ACM EXPERIENCE?
THE ACM EXPERIENCE is a three-day family-friendly event that gives fans the ultimate country experience in one place. You can SHOP country at the free-to-the-public ACM EXPO; TASTE country as we celebrate all things country with food trucks and vendors from all over the country; DRIVE country at the RAM Ride and Drive, an amazing outdoor track like no other; and HEAR country at live free venues happening throughout the Orleans property plus our new two-day ticketed ACM Outdoor Music Festival featuring county’s top hit makers.

And then add to your weekend with the 3rd ANNUAL ACM FAN JAM featuring Brad Paisley taking place at the Orleans Arena on Sunday, April 7. This live remote location gives country music lovers the ultimate fan-pass to be a part of the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
