As part of Open Air at the Square , celebrate Dolly Parton's birthday on Sunday 19 January 2024 from 5.30pm at Fed Square, corner Flinders and Swanston Streets in the heart of the city. There's a Dolly Singalong at 5.30pm with Vicky Jacobs and Jacqui Hoy from Glee Club, Melbourne's original singalong choir. They'll have you a hootin' and a hollerin' to Dolly's greatest hits. Next up is boot scooting from 6pm onwards, a boogie and a free screening of the Dolly Parton comedy classic 9 to 5 at 8.30pm on the big screen! Kitty and Lu from Disco Rodeo Boot Scooting will teach you a few Boot Scooting moves at the free open class on the Main Stage. Practise your moves as DJ Katie Pearson takes over the decks from 7-8.30pm and performs a Dolly-inspired DJ set.
