Why the Festival Matters The festival is more than just a day of music and art—it’s a celebration of Roswell’s creative spirit and natural beauty, with a deeper purpose. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Chattahoochee Nature Center, the festival highlights an exciting mix of visual and performing arts, featuring both local talent and nationally recognized artists. It’s a chance to come together as a community, connect through shared creative experiences, and celebrate the power of expression in an unforgettable setting. Proceeds from the festival directly support the missions of Roswell Arts Fund and Chattahoochee Nature Center—two organizations working year-round to enhance public art, protect natural spaces, and make Roswell a more vibrant, connected place to live.
