After the Capitol's cupola was lit pink earlier this year in honor of Dolly Parton, state officials moved to set clear rules for when and how the building's lighting can be used for tributes.
Visitors downtown on September 25 can expect to see the cupola glow pink again, a nod to Nashville's most famous ambassador as her new hotel and museum draw crowds nearby.
