Visit Downtown Portland

💖 LET’S COME TOGETHER FOR DOLLY! Downtown’ers: clock out a touch early on Friday and head straight to Darcelle XV Plaza to honor the queen of country, big hair, and bigger hearts.

To celebrate the first official Dolly Parton Day, we’re gathering together for an evening filled with music, rhinestones, joy and rememberance. Cooper Hays and her band Cooper and Her Daddy Issues take the stage alongside icons Poison Waters, Storm Large, and special guests for an unforgettable lineup and a massive community singalong.

Throw on your favorite rhinestones, channel your inner Dolly, or just come as you are to celebrate a legacy of pure kindness, humor, literature and music right in the heart of downtown! 💖
