2018 Alive In Roswell Starts April 19

ROSWELL, GA — Roswell's much-loved monthly street festival is a little less than three months away. Alive in Roswell will energize the downtown area starting April 19, providing a perfect way to kick off the spring season with your family, friends and neighbors.

This year, Roswell-based Gate City Brewing Company and Carl Black Buick-GMC Roswell are joining forces as presenting sponsors of this popular event, which attracts thousands of people to downtown Roswell each year.

Alive in Roswell is held on the third Thursday of each month from April through October, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and runs concurrently on Canton Street and at Historic Roswell Town Square, as well as at the Interactive Zone at City Hall. Free regular trolley service connects the venues.

The festival features live bands, hundreds of interactive vendors, and kids’ games and entertainment — and it enjoys participation from the surrounding boutiques, small businesses and restaurants.

Gate City Brewing Company was the festival’s first presenting sponsor last year. Roswell’s first craft brewhouse and taproom opened its doors at the corner of Canton and Magnolia streets in 2015 and has quickly become a popular destination, featuring for live music, community-based events, and an overall good time.

"Gate City Brewing is thrilled to again be one of Alive in Roswell’s presenting sponsors for 2018," said Brian Borngesser, Gate City Brewing Company co-founder. "This year, we are proud to share this sponsorship with Carl Black Buick-GMC — two Roswell businesses that have made a huge commitment to keep it local by sponsoring this fantastic event."

Family-owned and operated Carl Black Buick-GMC Roswell has served the city and surrounding communities for years. Carl Black sponsors many local teams and charitable organizations and is an enthusiastic supporter of the local music scene by bringing top entertainment the area.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Gate City Brewing on this extremely popular Roswell event," said Tod Baker, executive manager at Carl Black Buick-GMC Roswell. "Anyone who has ever experienced Alive in Roswell knows how fun and energizing it is, and we’re thrilled to help to make that experience possible this year."

Hosted by the city in conjunction with Atlanta Plays it Forward, Alive in Roswell offers unique opportunities for sponsors and vendors to showcase their businesses and services — and their commitment to the community — to thousands of residents and visitors.
