Groovin’ on the Green closes its 2026 season in Dunwoody on Saturday, October 10, with an outdoor concert built around one of rock’s most recognizable catalogs.

The finale runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at Brook Run Amphitheater in Brook Run Park.

Slippery When Wet, a Bon Jovi tribute act, headlines the evening.

For anyone who still knows the chorus to the biggest Bon Jovi songs without thinking about it, this is an easy Saturday-night proposition.

Brook Run Amphitheater provides the kind of relaxed outdoor setting that works especially well for a community concert.

Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, settle in and make an evening of the music.

Food trucks, giveaways and other activities round out the finale beyond the stage performance.

The October 10 show is the finale, so it carries a little more energy than an ordinary date on the concert calendar.

The performance caps a season of community music at the park and gives residents one more chance to enjoy an evening outside before cooler weather settles in.

The tribute format also makes the show accessible to people who may not follow a particular local band but know the songs.

Slippery When Wet has performed as a Bon Jovi tribute for years, building its show around the sound and stage energy associated with the New Jersey rock band.

The result should feel less like background music in a park and more like a full concert experience.

For Dunwoody residents, the location keeps that experience close to home.

That matters on a busy October weekend when major events are also drawing crowds in Alpharetta and Marietta.

Brook Run gives local residents an option that does not require navigating a downtown festival footprint.

Families can arrive with chairs, grab food on site and focus on the show.

The concert begins at 6 p.m., which means arriving earlier is sensible for anyone who wants a preferred lawn spot.

Visitors should also check the weather before leaving home because outdoor events always depend on conditions.

The park is at 4770 North Peachtree Road, making the amphitheater accessible from across Dunwoody and nearby north-metro communities.

A familiar songbook, food trucks and an outdoor fall evening are a simple combination, but often that is exactly what a neighborhood concert should be.

Groovin’ on the Green’s finale gives Dunwoody one more night to gather around live music before the series signs off for the year.

Free admission and a useful parking detail

The city’s concert-series page confirms that admission is free and all ages are welcome. It recommends lawn chairs and allows a cooler, so this concert has different visitor rules from some downtown festivals. Keep walkways clear when arranging seating, and choose a spot that allows your group to leave comfortably if children tire before the end.

The official finale calendar lists overflow parking at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 4755 North Peachtree Road. Use the current event directions and posted signs when arriving; a published overflow option does not guarantee a space. Plan how everyone will return to the vehicle after dark and keep your phone charged.
