Dolly Parton‘s legacy is set to be celebrated in a major way with the arrival of DollyFest in 2027.
The Dolly Parton Estate has announced that the two-day celebration will take place across two weekends, bringing the festivities to Nashville and London, England.

Originally planned for Parton’s 80th birthday in January 2026.
The event was postponed as the county legend faced health challenges.
Following her passing at 80 on August 25 after a brief battle with cancer, organizers are now moving forward with the festival as a celebration of the life, music, and spirit she shared with the world.
According to CTK Enterprises CEO Danny Nozell, DollyFest was a dream of Parton’s, sharing:
“What Dolly started, we will ensure is brought to life.”
Rather than a traditional memorial, the estate says the festival will honor the legend in the way she envisioned through music, celebration, and fans coming together.
