Though the late, great Dolly Parton is no longer with us, her presence is still very much felt… including through nearly two dozen corn mazes that will all honor the “Queen of Country” this fall.
I don’t know about you, but I love a good corn maze. There’s nothing like burning a Saturday paying someone to get lost in crops, and if it’s country music themed, that’s just a plus. In year’s past, the likes of Reba McEntire, Luke Bryan, and Lainey Wilson have been “corn-mazed,” for a lack of a better term. And this year, 20 farms across the U.S. and Canada are all rolling out Dolly Parton-inspired designs.
Here’s one in Woodstock, Illinois, for example:
To be clear, these Dolly Parton corn mazes have actually been nearly three years in the making. The plans for the designs were finalized in early 2026 (January, to be exact), and the mazes were cut into the corn at some point in the early summer. They weren’t supposed to memorialize the country music icon… but Brett Herbst, founder of The Maize Inc., says that the corn mazes across the country now hold even greater significance:
“We are beyond humbled to honor Dolly’s legacy, joining the world in mourning the passing of a true
American treasure. Dolly’s impact on the world and her love for farming is immeasurable and our corn maze tributes now take on new meaning and significance, as we honor her and her beloved Imagination Library.”
Each corn maze location – which consists of 18 farms in the U.S. and two in Canadian provinces – will donate a portion of their proceeds to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The charitable organization provides free books to kids with from their birth until they hit the age of 5. In the 31 years since the country icon launched the organization, it’s gifted over 300,000,000 books to kids in need.
Dolly Parton even filmed a video expressing her excitement for the corn mazes sporting her likeness and honoring parts of her career before she passed:
So sad that she’s no longer with us, but I’m happy that she knew Dolly Parton corn mazes were being carved into the corn all across the United States and Canada. You can check out the list below to see if there’s a Dolly Parton corn maze near you that you can plan a visit to this fall:

Still with me? I know that’s a lot of Dolly Parton corn maze locations to scroll through. As you can see, the location of these country music corn designs stretch from coast to coast… with even a couple in Canada. That’s only fitting, since Dolly’s impact stretched all across the world.
Now that she’s gone, it’s comforting to know that her spirit will live on through her music and the plenty of projects she was working on, including corn mazes that are a) paying tribute to the country star across much of North America and b) raising money for her Imagination Library.
