Dolly Parton estate announces 2-day festival 'Dollyfest' to celebrate her legacy

The estate of Dolly Parton, who passed away from cancer at the age of 80, has announced plans for Dollyfest, a two-day festival to honor her legacy. Originally scheduled for January 2026, the event will now take place in 2027 in Nashville and London over two consecutive weekends. The festival was initially intended to include Parton as a performer and host but will now focus on celebrating her life and work. Organizers emphasized that the event aligns with Parton’s wishes, as she did not want a traditional public memorial. Instead, there will be a private service attended only by immediate family members. Tickets and specific dates for the festival are expected to be released soon.
