About the event
Starting at Carabello Coffee Newport Mayor Thomas Guidugli Jr. will issue a proclamation recognizing Dolly Parton Day and ceremonially rename the city “Dollyport” for the occasion. The mayor will be joined by Newport business owners, community members and Campbell County Public Library Director Chantelle M. Phillips for a community “Cup of Ambition” toast.
Following the proclamation, participating businesses throughout Newport will offer their own take on Dolly Parton Day. Dolly-inspired food, beverages, decorated storefronts, employee costumes, giveaways, music and photo opportunities. Rather than taking place at a single venue, “9 to 5 on 9/25” is designed as a community wide business promotion that encourages visitors to explore Newport and support its restaurants, retailers, bars and other local establishments.
This event is free and open to the public.
The day also highlights Newport’s connection to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, an early-childhood literacy program that provides free, age-appropriate books to eligible children…
