Grand Ole Opry To Celebrate Dolly Parton With Second Annual Birthday Show

November 20, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh
The Grand Ole Opry is celebrating all things Dolly Parton by bringing back the special “Opry Goes Dolly” show on her birthday (Jan. 19).

The one-of-a-kind Opry show will be held at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, and will mark the second show honoring the icon’s birthday. Parton will not appear in-person at the event, however the Opry will feature special guest artists performing their favorite Parton hits, Parton-themed events, photo ops and more. Among those scheduled for the tribute show are Parton fans Ashley Monroe and Tigirlily Gold, with more to be announced soon.

Other celebration plans in honor of the country star’s birthday include treats baked using her Duncan Hines mixes given to Opry House and Ryman tour guests on Jan. 19 (while supplies last); a giant birthday card for fans to sign at the Ryman Auditorium and Opry House; a Parton impersonator on Ryman Plaza for photos during the show, and signature drinks at all Ryman bars​.

Beginning today (Nov. 20), five dollars from every ticket sold to the show will be donated to the Opry Trust Fund in Parton’s honor. For more than 50 years, the fund has assisted members of the country music community in need.

Parton’s Rockstar album is available now, and in celebration of the release, The Opry Shop will feature a Rockstar pop-up shop that will run through Jan. 19 featuring Dolly music and merchandise including Rockstar vinyl and CDs, Rockstar themed t-shirts, sweatshirts and more.

Fans can also enter for a chance to “Parton Like A Rockstar” at the Jan. 19 show by visiting Opry.com to complete the sweepstakes registration. In addition to the opportunity to take the Ryman stage during “Opry Goes Dolly” to help lead the audience in singing “Happy Birthday,” the prize includes travel expenses to and from Nashville for two; a two-night hotel stay for two at Noelle Nashville; two tickets to the Jan. 19 show at the Ryman; an exclusive Rockstar album merch pack; and more.
