Biloxi Gulfport, MS, September 19, 2026 —

Twenty farms, spanning across the United States and Canada, have unveiled large corn mazes designed in the distinct likeness of country music icon Dolly Parton. These agricultural attractions are established in approximately a dozen states and two Canadian provinces, aiming to celebrate the celebrated entertainer.

Beyond serving as unique tourist destinations and community events, the mazes are also dedicated to raising funds for Parton’s prominent literacy program, The Imagination Library. This initiative provides free books to children from birth until they begin school, fostering a love for reading and early education.

The exact locations and the specific farms participating in this initiative were not detailed in the provided summary. Similarly, the specific timeframe during which these corn mazes are operational, or the projected fundraising goals for The Imagination Library through these events, were not available.

The concept of large-scale corn mazes, often designed with intricate patterns or famous figures, is a seasonal attraction that typically operates during the autumn months. The decision to honor Dolly Parton with these mazes highlights her broad cultural impact and philanthropic efforts, particularly her commitment to childhood literacy.

Further details regarding the operational dates, specific participating farms, or the total amount raised for The Imagination Library are anticipated as the season progresses.
