The Main Street Tucker Alliance, the host organizer of Tucker Day, announced the cancellation of the 2011 Tucker Day celebration. This year, the Main Street Streetscape project will still be underway in May, making Main Street inaccessible for such a large, all-day event. Instead, in the fall, the MTA plans a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by a celebration of Tucker's newly redesigned Main Street business district.

First held in 1956, Tucker Day is an annual event, scheduled the second Saturday of May, where Tucker celebrates the history of the town with a parade, music, food, arts and crafts.
