City of Pigeon Forge Mourns the Loss of Dolly Parton

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. August 25, 2026- The City of Pigeon Forge joins people across Tennessee, the nation and the world in mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, a beloved daughter of the Great Smoky Mountains and a cherished member of the Pigeon Forge community.

Dolly was far more than a world-renowned singer, songwriter, actress, entertainer and philanthropist. To the people of Pigeon Forge, she was one of our own.

For decades, Dolly's name and heart have been woven into the story of Pigeon Forge. Through Dollywood, the many businesses and attractions she helped bring to the community, and the countless ways she invested in the people of East Tennessee, Dolly helped shape Pigeon Forge into the community it is today.

But perhaps her greatest legacy is not measured in the success she achieved. It is measured in the lives she touched.

Dolly never forgot where she came from. Despite achieving worldwide fame, she remained deeply connected to her Tennessee roots and consistently used her success to give back. Her generosity, her commitment to children and literacy, her support of families and communities, and her genuine love for the people of this region have left an impact that will continue for generations.

“Today, Pigeon Forge has lost more than an icon. We have lost one of our own,” said City Manager David Wear, “Dolly loved these mountains, she loved this community, and she never forgot where she came from. Her generosity, her spirit and her belief in the people of East Tennessee have made an immeasurable difference. We are grateful for everything she gave to Pigeon Forge and to the world."

The City of Pigeon Forge extends its deepest condolences to Dolly's family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, fans and the many people whose lives she touched.

Her music will continue to be heard. Her stories will continue to be told. Her generosity will continue through the many lives she changed.

The City of Pigeon Forge is grateful for the life, love and legacy of Dolly Parton.

We still have some cabins available for the show.

🚗🌸 The Spring Rod Run returns to Pigeon Forge April 16–18! 🌸🚗

This popular event brings thousands of classic cars and visitors to the area for a weekend at LeConte Event Center at Pigeon Forge- and with it, increased traffic throughout the city.

While we’re excited to welcome guests for one of the region’s largest automotive events, we also want to help residents and visitors alike plan ahead. Heavy traffic congestion is expected, especially along the Parkway, Teaster Lane, and surrounding roadways.

📣 Whether you're attending the Rod Run or simply traveling around town, here are a few helpful tips from the Pigeon Forge Police Department:
• Allow extra travel time and plan ahead for delays
• Stay alert for pedestrians- and if you're walking, watch for vehicles
• Slower traffic, keep right to allow others to pass safely
• Avoid blocking intersections and turning lanes
• Park in designated, lined spaces only

🙏 We appreciate everyone working together to keep Pigeon Forge safe, respectful, and enjoyable during this busy weekend!
