# Event Details - **Event Name**: Downtown Dolly Days - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 am (-05:00) - **Event Description**: DOLLY DAYS: September 25 & 26 Big hair. Big hearts. Do a little good. Why September 25? It's a little homage to Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. 9/25 = 9 to 5. πŸ˜‰ For two days, Downtown Burlington is getting a little more Dolly. Expect pink, big hair, rhinestones, Dolly music, butterflies, special treats and activities, and plenty of reasons to wander around downtown. Participating businesses will be putting their own spin on Dolly Days, so we'll keep updating this event as we hear what everyone has planned. But this isn't just an excuse to wear pink and tease our hair. At the heart of Dolly Days is kindness, community and giving back. Participating businesses are encouraged to choose a local nonprofit or cause that's important to them, whether that means donating a portion of sales, collecting needed items, hosting an organization, raising awareness or finding another way to help. RANDOM ACTS OF DOLLY Throughout downtown, look for butterfly-shaped Random Acts of Dolly. Take one that speaks to you and do a little good. It might ask you to help a neighbor, compliment a stranger, donate something that's needed, refill a Little Free Library, leave an extra-good tip or reach out to someone who could use a little kindness. No purchase necessary. No credit required. Just take a butterfly and make somebody's day a little better. Friday, September 25 will kick off the kindness with Random Acts of Dolly and activities throughout downtown. Saturday, September 26 we'll keep the kindness going and turn up the Dolly. Wear your pink, fluff up your hair and come spend the day downtown! More participating businesses, nonprofit partnerships, specials, activities and Dolly ridiculousness will be added as plans come together. πŸ’— Come downtown. Wear pink. Support local.
