The Grand Ole Opry to Stage Second Annual ‘Opry Goes Dolly’ Celebration

As Dolly Parton’s birthday approaches, The Grand Ole Opry is gearing up for a celebration of the legendary country star. On January 19, the esteemed home for country music will put on its Second Annual Opry Goes Dolly event at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., staging a pair of shows dedicated to Dolly’s musical legacy,

While Parton will not appear in person, the Opry shows will feature a series of special guests giving their renditions of Dolly’s greatest hits, including Opry members Lauren Alaina, Dailey and Vincent, Terri Clark and Don Schlitz, as well as featured performers Elle King, Ashley Monroe and Tigirlily Gold – among others.

Other attractions include Dolly-themed events, photo-ops with memorable items from the icon’s personal wardrobe, and more. As a cherry on top, fans touring the Opry House and Ryman Auditorium will be treated to cupcakes from Dolly’s Duncan Hines mix, with signature Dolly ROCKSTAR drinks available at all Ryman bars.

In Dolly’s honor, $5 from each ticket sale will be put towards the Opry Trust Fund, which has supported members of the country music industry in need for over 50 years. Tickets for Opry Goes Dolly, showing at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on January 19, are available now at opry.com.
