One of the best things about living in the Atlanta area is how each community has its own personality—and Roswell has a knack for throwing a party you don’t want to miss. This summer, the city is once again hosting Alive in Roswell, a free, family-friendly festival that transforms Historic Downtown Roswell into a lively celebration of music, art, and connection.
On the third Thursday of each month through October, Canton Street and the surrounding area shut down to traffic and fill with local bands, street performers, food trucks, and artisan vendors. You can stroll with friends, sip something refreshing, and discover everything from handmade jewelry to gourmet treats. Kids love the activity zones, and there’s always something new to see—whether it’s a pop-up art installation or a spontaneous dance performance.
What makes Alive in Roswell so special is the way it blends small-town charm with big energy. You’ll see shop owners chatting with regulars, neighbors introducing friends, and first-time visitors instantly feeling like locals. There’s an undeniable sense of community in the air—exactly the kind of environment that makes people fall in love with a neighborhood.
For anyone considering a move to Roswell, Alpharetta, or nearby areas like Milton, Brookhaven, or Chastain Park, events like this show what life here is all about. It’s not just about finding a house—it’s about finding a place where you can walk down the street and run into people you know, enjoy live music under the stars, and feel part of something bigger.
If you’re ready to explore a new home in a community that comes alive in more ways than one, I’d be happy to help you find the right spot to call your own—whether it’s steps from Canton Street or just a short drive away.
