Dolly Parton’s music, movies, philanthropy, and unmistakable larger-than-life style made her one of the most recognizable figures in American culture. The country legend died on August 25 at age 80, leaving behind a career spanning nearly seven decades, more than 100 million records sold, and a philanthropic legacy that includes the Imagination Library, which has distributed hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
Now, California has given fans an official reason to celebrate, as September 25 has just been designated as Dolly Parton Day statewide, with the date chosen as a nod to her iconic hit “9 to 5.”
If you’re looking to honor Dolly with a little music, plenty of sparkle, and perhaps a Dolly-themed cocktail or two, several West Hollywood spots are joining the celebration.
