On Aug. 29, the Grand Ole Opry will be paying tribute to Dolly Parton, who died Aug. 25 after a brief battle with an undisclosed form of cancer.
According to a social media post from the venue, the tribute show will recognize "her extraordinary life, legacy, and contributions to country music."
"In honor of Dolly’s incredible spirit of giving, a portion of ticket sales for the Aug. 29 show will be donated to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library," read the post.
The beloved singer-songwriter, actress, and philanthropist from East Tennessee died surrounded by loved ones at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, according to an official statement.
Parton had faced a series of health concerns in recent months, which prevented her from attending
an announcement about Dollywood's newest ride in 2025 and later led to the delay of her planned Las Vegas residency until 2026, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
Here's what else to know about the tribute special and how to tune in.

Was Dolly Parton a Grand Ole Opry member?
Parton was inducted into the Grand Ole Opryon Jan. 4, 1969. Becoming an Opry member fulfilled a lifelong dream for the country music icon, who first performed on the Opry stage as a child.
"They call it the 'Mother Church,' because the old Ryman was a church, but it's sacred to me, wherever it goes — the church of my heart," said Parton of the Opry. "For me, the Opry is like the song 'New York, New York' — if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere."
