The estate of the late country music legend Dolly Parton has announced plans for two "DollyFest" celebrations in honor of the iconic artist. These festivals are scheduled to take place in 2027, with one event planned for Nashville, Tennessee, and another for London, England.
Originally, a multi-artist event was conceived for Parton's 80th birthday in January 2026, where she was slated to perform and host. However, this initial plan was postponed. The newly announced DollyFest events will now serve as a posthumous tribute, bringing together fans and artists to celebrate Parton's enduring legacy.
