CITY OF TUCKER ANNOUNCES STARSHIP-HEADLINED FINALE TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF INCORPORATION

Tucker Ten-Tober Festival brings football, music, family fun and community together for an unforgettable 10th anniversary celebration

Tucker, Georgia – August 17, 2026 – The City of Tucker is going all out for its 10th anniversary finale. On October 17, 2026, Tucker Town Green and Main Street will come alive for the Tucker Ten-Tober Festival, a spectacular, free celebration marking a decade of incorporation, community and the spirit of the Tucker Way. The grand finale of the city’s year-long 10th-anniversary celebration will offer something for everyone, from college football and family activities to a headline performance by legendary band Starship.

The festivities kick off at 3 p.m. with a family-friendly Oktoberfest celebration featuring live music, traditional games, activities and a curated selection of six local breweries. College football fans can catch the UGA vs. Auburn game at 3:30 p.m. on the giant screen at Tucker Town Green, giving fans a chance to enjoy the game together as part of the day’s festivities.

As the evening gets underway, the celebration will continue on Main Street with a live performance by Starship featuring Mikey Thomas, bringing one of rock’s legendary bands to Tucker for the city’s milestone celebration.

Starship’s iconic song “We Built This City” offers a fitting and fun theme for Tucker’s 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, Tucker has literally built a city: one shaped by its residents, businesses, neighborhoods and community organizations.

“Reaching our tenth year of incorporation is a profound milestone for our community,” said Mayor Anne Lerner. “This finale is our way of saying thank you to the residents, businesses and community partners who have helped shape the city over the last decade. We wanted to create a celebration where everyone could find something to enjoy while celebrating ten years of Tucker.”
