And _you_ get to meet Oprah! Everyone gets to meet Oprah! Beginning in September, Oprah Winfrey will cross the country on an eight-city tour called Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend, reports the Hollywood _Reporter_. She’ll stop in each city for two days. On Friday night, Winfrey will offer her sage life advice; Saturday morning will feature speakers hand-picked by Oprah. _Eat Pray Love_ author Elizabeth Gilbert, pastor Rob Bell and new age guru Deepak Chopra are already on the docket for some cities. The tour will stop in Atlanta, Auburn Hill, Houston, Miami, Newark, Seattle, San Jose and Washington. Ticket prices will range from $99 to $999—the pricier packages include a meeting with Winfrey herself. Oprah Winfrey hasn’t interacted with audiences on this kind of scale since the _Oprah Winfrey Show_ ended in 2011\. “There’s no question that Oprah’s supreme gift is connecting with an audience,” says OWN president Sheri Salata. Winfrey told _The Hollywood Reporter_ that a tour has been on her “bucket list” for years. The tour may make more stops depending on the success of the first leg. And who are we kidding—it’s going to be successful. \[[The Hollywood _Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/oprah-winfrey-announces-life-you-691185)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/38700/oprah-winfrey-tour-event/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/38700/oprah-winfrey-tour-event/"},"headline":"'Oprah-palooza' Coming To A City Near You","datePublished":"2014-03-26T16:19:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T06:58:35.474Z","description":"The media magnate's Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend tour, which will feature her sought-after advice and chats with speakers like author Elizabeth Gilbert and Deepak Chopra, is set for stops in Atlanta, Houston, Newark and San Jose, among others","url":"https://time.com/38700/oprah-winfrey-tour-event/","keywords":["celebrities","Oprah Winfrey"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt793500bb23cceb51/6986875ccd804d62becc9f0e/477740365.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt793500bb23cceb51/6986875ccd804d62becc9f0e/477740365.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of HBO Documentary Films' \"Paycheck To Paycheck\"","caption":"Premiere Of HBO Documentary Films' \"Paycheck To Paycheck\"","creditText":"Jennifer Lourie—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/38700/oprah-winfrey-tour-event/","name":"'Oprah-palooza' Coming To A City Near You"}}]}] ```
