Celebrate where it all began at the Dolly & Porter Days, October 2-3, 2026, in West Plains Downtown. This two-day event honors hometown legend Porter Wagoner and his lasting connection to Dolly Parton with live music, a Dolly & Porter costume contest, “Rags to Art” fiber art inspired by Dolly’s Coat of Many Colors, a pie bake-off and pie auction, “Dollyoke” karaoke, and more. Join us in Downtown West Plains to experience the roots of American country music, small-town creativity, and the stories that helped shape a national sound.
