Footage from the event shows people placing flowers in front of the mural as they paid their respects to the singer and songwriter.
Parton's music has long been associated with memories of home for multiple generations. Those present recalled songs such as "Tennessee Mountain Home," "Light on a Clear Blue Morning," and "Little Sparrow," while also celebrating her humor and generosity. Additionally, her Imagination Library, an initiative promoting children's literacy, received praise during the tributes.
The homage in Nashville underscores the enduring place Dolly Parton holds in Tennessee's cultural life and beyond. The New York Empire State Building also turned pink as a tribute following her passing.
