Denver, CO, September 16, 2026 —

This autumn, a unique tribute to music icon Dolly Parton is unfolding across North America, with twenty farms in the United States and Canada opening their gates to feature specially designed corn mazes. These mazes aim to honor Parton’s legacy and simultaneously raise funds for her renowned literacy program, The Imagination Library.

The intricate mazes were designed by The Maize Inc., a company specializing in agricultural entertainment. Planning for these installations began prior to Parton’s recent passing, but her death has imbued the projects with a more profound sense of significance for participants and organizers alike.

Visitors to these participating farms can expect an immersive experience designed to celebrate Parton’s life and work. The mazes incorporate several Parton-themed elements, including trivia questions that test patrons’ knowledge of her career and personal history. Additionally, designated photo opportunities are available, allowing visitors to capture memories within the unique landscape.

The initiative connects agricultural enterprises with a widely beloved cultural figure, using the seasonal attraction of corn mazes to drive engagement and support for a charitable cause. The Imagination Library, founded by Parton in 1995, provides free books to children from birth until they begin school, fostering a love of reading and learning.

While the specific fundraising amounts or donation mechanisms are not detailed, the collective effort by these twenty farms represents a significant community-driven tribute. The mazes are expected to draw visitors throughout the fall season, offering a blend of outdoor activity and heartfelt homage.
