A Travel Guide to Roswell, Georgia’s Best Concerts & Events

Experience the Magic of 'Alive in Roswell'

If there is one event that defines the social spirit of this city, it is Alive in Roswell. Held on the third Thursday of every month from April through October, this free family-friendly festival takes over two separate locations simultaneously: Historic Canton Street and the Roswell Antique and Interiors Lot. The streets come alive with live bands, hundreds of interactive vendors, food trucks, and a palpable sense of community. However, anyone who has tried to attend knows that parking in Historic Roswell during this event is nearly impossible. The streets are crowded, and finding a spot for even one car—let alone a convoy—can take an hour or more.

This is where Charter Bus Roswell saves the day. Book a private minibus shuttle for your neighborhood group, social club, or corporate team, and skip the parking nightmare entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the action at the intersection of Canton Street and Elizabeth Way (Roswell, GA 30075), allowing you to dive straight into the festivities. After you have enjoyed the live music, sampled food from local favorites like Table & Main or Salt Factory Pub, and shopped the local vendors, your bus will be waiting to take everyone home comfortably. No designated drivers needed, and no walking miles to a remote parking lot. It is the ultimate way to experience Roswell’s premier monthly street party.

Catch Top Acts at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre

Just a stone's throw from Roswell lies one of the premier outdoor music venues in the Southeast: Ameris Bank Amphitheatre (2200 Encore Pkwy, Alpharetta, GA 30009). While technically in neighboring Alpharetta, this is the home concert venue for Roswell residents, hosting massive acts ranging from country legends and rock icons to symphony orchestras. The venue holds 12,000 people, which means traffic on Encore Parkway and Westside Parkway can be gridlocked for hours before and after a show. Why let traffic ruin your concert vibe?

When you rent a party bus or charter bus with Charter Bus Roswell, the concert starts the moment you step onboard. Gather your friends, bring your coolers, and enjoy a tailgate experience on the road. Our buses come equipped with AUX/Bluetooth sound systems so you can blast the artist’s setlist while you ride. We offer plenty of storage space for tailgating gear, lawn chairs, and blankets if you are sitting on the lawn. Your driver will navigate the heavy concert traffic and drop you as close to the gates as permitted, ensuring you don't miss the opening act. After the encore, relax in plush, reclining seats while we handle the exit rush. Whether you are seeing Dave Matthews Band or a summer country tour, Charter Bus Roswell turns a concert into a luxury experience.

Cultural Arts Center Performances & Theatre

For those who prefer the performing arts, the Roswell Cultural Arts Center (950 Forrest St, Roswell, GA 30075) is a gem of the community. This venue hosts the Georgia Ensemble Theatre, the Roswell Summer Puppet Series, and various choral and dance performances throughout the year. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, and art appreciation groups. However, coordinating travel for a large group of students or seniors requires comfort, organization, and punctuality—qualities that Charter Bus Roswell prioritizes above all else.

We provide comfortable, reliable charter bus rentals perfect for school groups and senior communities visiting the Cultural Arts Center. For school trips, the onboard DVD players and monitors can keep students entertained with educational videos during the ride. For senior groups, our comfortable, climate-controlled cabins and ample legroom ensure a pleasant journey without the physical stress of driving or navigating public transit. We can arrange a seamless drop-off at the front entrance, making accessibility a priority. Whether it is a matinee play or a holiday concert, let us provide the transportation solution that matches the sophistication of the event.

Seasonal Festivals: Lavender, Arts, and Butterflies

Roswell is famous for its unique seasonal festivals that draw crowds from all over Georgia. The Roswell Lavender Festival, held annually in June at Barrington Hall (535 Barrington Dr, Roswell, GA 30075), celebrates all things herbal and wellness-related. In the autumn, the Roswell Arts Festival takes over the Historic Town Square, showcasing local artists and craftsmen. There is also the enchanting Butterfly Festival at the Chattahoochee Nature Center (9135 Willeo Rd, Roswell, GA 30075). These events are perfect for large group outings, but they also attract significant crowds, making logistics a challenge.

Charter Bus Roswell is your ticket to a stress-free festival experience. Instead of coordinating a meetup point inside a crowded festival or losing cell service trying to find your friends, travel together! A 25-passenger minibus is perfect for a garden club heading to the Lavender Festival or a scout troop visiting the Nature Center. You can store your purchases—whether it is lavender soaps, paintings, or souvenirs—securely in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage of the bus. Plus, after a long day of walking in the Georgia sun, there is nothing better than stepping into a cool, air-conditioned bus and resting your feet while a driver takes you home.

Brewery and Distillery Tours on Canton Street

Roswell’s craft beverage scene has exploded in recent years, particularly around the walkable (but busy) Canton Street area. From the hop-forward ales at Gate City Brewing Company (43 Magnolia St, Roswell, GA 30075) to the experimental brews at Variant Brewing (66 Norcross St, Roswell, GA 30075), there is plenty to taste. For groups wanting to explore these spots—or perhaps venture further to From the Earth Brewing Company—a private minibus rental is the responsible and fun choice.

Organize a brewery crawl for a birthday, corporate team-building event, or just a Saturday outing with friends. With Charter Bus Roswell, you have a built-in designated driver for the entire duration of your rental. You can hop from Gate City to Variant, grab dinner on Canton Street, and maybe even end the night with a nightcap, all without waiting for rideshares or splitting the group. Our minibuses are compact enough to navigate Roswell’s streets easily but spacious enough to keep your group comfortable. You can even request a bus with leather seats and mood lighting to elevate the experience.
