TIFTON — The City of Tifton is celebrating “Georgia Cities Week” April 21-25.

The city is holding a variety of events throughout the week that are open to the public, including a Touch-a-Truck and Children’s Storytime with the Mayor, Headstone Cleaning at Oakridge Cemetery, the opening of a Collaborative Vision Board, a Free Movie at the Tift Theatre, and more.

The theme of this year’s Georgia Cities Week is: “Imagine the Possible.”

“We’re very proud of our city and the services we provide that make it attractive to residents and visitors,” said Mayor Julie Smith. “Cities provide the services and infrastructure to help businesses grow and set the stage for events where families and individuals can gather as a community.”

While several events have already taken place, remaining ones include:
