The 7th Annual Joey Stuckey Alive Day is set to take place Saturday, October 4, 2025, at the Mill Hill Community Arts Center at 213 Clinton Street, Macon, GA 31217—doors at 5:30 PM, music from 6-9PM.

Joey Stuckey Alive Day 2025 is a free, family-friendly music festival that celebrates the day that Joey successfully beat the brain tumor that was “supposed” to take his life as a child. In 2017, Macon’s mayor and city council recognized Joey Stuckey Alive Day as an official celebration and honored it with a proclamation. Alive Day is designed to encourage folks to come together to revel in the joy of life through music and to celebrate their own personal triumphs against adversity. 

This year’s festival features the music of pianist extraordinaire Tom Rule at 6PM and Macon’s official music ambassador Joey Stuckey with Charles Arnold at 7PM. We are so excited to offer a unique culmination to our festival at 8 PM that includes three Georgia legends performing a songwriters-in-the-round style set—Caroline Aiken, Diane Durrett, and Liz Melendez.
