TINA TURNER STATUE UNVEILING SET FOR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 AT 10 AM; PART OF TINA TURNER HERITAGE DAYS

The Monumental Tribute to the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll To Be Unveiled as Part of Tina Turner Heritage Days in Brownsville’s Heritage Park

BROWNSVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Every year, when the leaves start to turn, Tina Turner’s fans make the pilgrimage to Brownsville, Tennessee to celebrate the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll with a weekend of festivities. The annual event, which takes place the fourth weekend of September, will feature an incredibly special event for 2025: the unveiling of the Tina Turner Statue in Brownsville, Tennessee’s Heritage Park.

Commissioned by the City of Brownsville with the generous support of Ford Motor Company, the statue was sculpted by world-renowned, Atlanta-based African American artist, Fred Ajanogha, who works as Ajano Art. Standing at seven feet tall, the statue is a centerpiece of a broader vision to celebrate Tina Turner in her native West Tennessee, a region that also hosts the Tina Turner Museum at Flagg Grove School, curated by the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center. The Museum — housed in the very one-room schoolhouse Turner attended through eighth grade — has drawn global fans since its opening in 2014.

The statue will be installed in Heritage Park, directly across the street from Carver High School—where Tina Turner once attended classes and played basketball, creating a powerful physical and symbolic link between her humble beginnings and her global impact.

The Tina Turner Heritage Days take place from September 26-28, 2025 and offers a wide variety of events for fans new and old. From Nutbush tours and fan gatherings to a powerhouse Elevation Memphis tribute concert and Sunday worship at Woodlawn Missionary Baptist Church, you’ll walk in Tina’s footsteps and feel the roots and soul of her remarkable journey.
