Dolly Parton's estate has announced Dollyfest, a festival celebrating the country music legend, days after her death. The event will take place across two consecutive weekends in 2027 in both Nashville, Tennessee, and London, England, and was originally conceived by Parton herself as a multi-artist celebration in Nashville that she intended to host and perform at before her health declined in August 2025.

Danny Nozell, Parton's longtime manager and CEO of CTK Enterprises, said the venue and announcement had already been prepared before her health setback, and that the team decided to honour her original vision rather than stage a traditional memorial, which he said she did not want. Further details on tickets and exact dates will be released later, with fans invited to sign up via Parton's official website. Dollyfest is one of several posthumous projects in the works, alongside a Nashville hotel and museum, various branded products, a Broadway musical documentary, a biopic, a docuseries and other screen projects.
