It comes after a star-studded concert was held in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this month to celebrate the 39th president’s milestone birthday and to raise funds for The Carter Center.
“It was an incredible evening, full of good music and heartfelt tributes, and it made history as the first-ever 100th birthday celebration for a living American president,” Carter said at the time.
The concert, which raised more than $1.2m (£900,000) and also featured recorded messages from other presidents, will air on Georgia Public Broadcasting on Tuesday. Dozens of musical acts performed at the event and thousands attended.
The former president will be watching the broadcast on Tuesday, his family said.
Carter, who was not able to attend the concert in person, made a rare public appearance in November 2023 when he attended a memorial service for his wife Rosalynn who died aged 96 earlier that month.
Their 77-year marriage remains the longest of any first couple.
