The Grand Ole Opry will celebrate Opry member Dolly Parton’s 79th birthday during its third annual ‘Opry Goes Dolly’ on January 18th at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.

The special Saturday night Opry Goes Dolly is a one-of-a-kind Opry show that falls just one day before Parton’s birthday on January 19th. While Parton will not appear in person, the Opry Goes Dolly show will honor her with tributes throughout the first Opry 100 show at the legendary Grand Ole Opry House, featuring special guest artists performing their favorite Dolly hits, Dolly-themed events, photo-ops and more. Among those scheduled for the Opry Goes Dolly show are Dolly fans Bill Anderson, Rhonda Vincent, Ashley Cooke, and Chapel Hart as well as the first Opry debut of 2025, six-time Grammy nominee Shaboozey.

Fans attending the Opry show can purchase a ticket to join a special Dolly-oke fundraiser in Studio A, headlined by Chapel Hart on Saturday night following the Opry show. All proceeds from the event will support the Opry Trust Fund, which offers financial assistance to those in the country music industry during times of crisis or emergency. In addition, every ticket sold to the January 18th show will be donated to Parton’s Imagination Library, a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.

Tickets for the Grand Ole Opry’s “Opry Goes Dolly” event are available via (615) 871-OPRY and opry.com.
