Alive in Roswell kicks off season By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Alive in Roswell kicked off its 2025 season with thousands of people strolling up and down Historic Canton Street April 17. Visitors enjoyed live music, food trucks, artisan vendors and interactive activities. Mayor Kurt Wilson welcomed guests to the first of many Alive in Roswell celebrations planned for this year. “Alive in Roswell is an amazing community project,”
Wilson said. Officer Victor Aguirre stood outside the Roswell Police tent, welcoming passersby. His favorite part of the event, he said, is showing the community what police officers do to help residents. “You want to be able to engage,” Aguirre said. The free celebration is held every third Thursday through October from 5 to 9 p.m. The next Alive in Roswell will be May 15. For more information about the festival, visit www. aliveinroswell.com.
