💖 Portland, we’re clocking in for Dolly. 💖

On 9/25, Ugly Duckling is celebrating the music, style, joy and larger than life legacy of the one and only Dolly Parton with a very Portland kind of tribute. ✨

From 9 to 5 and beyond, come eat, drink, sing along and celebrate an icon who has given us decades of unforgettable music, humor, heart and plenty of sparkle.

And because you can never have too much Dolly, we’re bringing in New England drag royalty 👑

✨ Famine the Supermodel
✨ Asia Deluxxe

They’ll be bringing the glamour, camp and joy of Dolly’s iconic songs to life throughout the night.

👗 Think you can serve the best Dolly look? Come dressed as your favorite version of Dolly and enter our Dolly look contest. Big hair, rhinestones and fabulousness encouraged. But dressing up is absolutely not required. Come exactly as you are and celebrate with us.

📅 September 25
⏰ 7 PM to 10 PM
📍 Ugly Duckling, Portland, Maine
💖 FREE COVER

Good food. Drinks. Drag. Music. Dolly. And a whole lot of love.

Because if there’s anyone worth working 9 to 5 for, it’s Dolly. ✨
