Singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, and overall icon Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80-year-old last week. There isn't a single person or organization who hasn't been paying tribute to the country star, including those in Sioux Falls.

Over the years, Dolly Parton came to visit her friends in Sioux Falls.  So to honor this extraordinary life, Sioux Falls is having a big Dolly Party!

The Social Sioux Falls is one of the many great event spaces in town. They're known for hosting all kinds of celebrations, and trust me when I say this is going to be big for Dolly. Officials with The Social Sioux Falls posted a Facebook video announcing Dolly Tribute Night will be on Wednesday, September 16th from 6 PM until 9 PM. This is their way of recognizing the great Dolly.

The event will feature some "iconic local women" paying tribute to Dolly Parton's legacy by singing some of their favorite all-time hits. Local musicians part of the night include Tara Faber, Danica Michaels, Pamela Hoffman, Sarah Schreck, and Shelby Kay.

Five amazing voices, each bringing their own heart and talent to the songs that made Dolly a legend.
Guests will enjoy Dolly’s favorites for dinner from Bluestem Catering, Dolly-inspired photo opportunities, and an evening filled with the songs and stories we all know and love.
