Stop by Alive After 5 in Roswell's Historic District Tonight

Warmer weather welcomes May's Alive After 5 tonight, Thursday, May 16.

As usual, food trucks, local vendors, artisans, music, entertainment, kiddie fun and shopping are all scheduled for the May event.

Take the trolleys from the parking lot at Roswell City Hall to either area of the historic district - Canton Street and the Roswell Square.

Alive After 5

Once again, Canton Street will be closed from Magnolia Street to Norcross Street beginning at 6:30 p.m. It will reopen at 10 p.m. Webb Street will close at 4:30 p.m. from West Alley (near The Chandlery back door) to Canton Street and Elizabeth Way will close at 4:30 p.m. from Highway 9 to Canton Street for vendor set up.

The "Community Corner" will be set up at the corner of Canton Street and Woodstock Road.

Continuing this month, the "Alive After 5 Singer Songwriter Series," is sponsored by The Roswell Tap. Here's how it will work: five or six singer/songwriters will be showcased, competing for prize money, at the Heart of Roswell Park throughout the event each month. After each artist performs their set at the park, they will head over to The Roswell Tap to play more music. Winners will compete for a grand prize at the end of the Alive After 5 season.

Roswell Square

Alive At the Square will fill the square with vendors, local merchants, food trucks and live music. The Mill Kitchen & Bar will also set up a beverage service.

Park Square will close at 4:30 p.m. for vendor set up.

Jay Memory will be at the Roswell Square to perform throughout the evening.

The food trucks expected during the May Alive at the Square are:

King of Pops - exotic-inspired frozen treats with a flavor range from Mexican Chocolate to the Arnold Palmer.

Viet-Noami - authentic Vietnamese food, which makes all sauces and grinds all meats in-house for the "Cha Gio (Jazzi Rolls)."
