Founded in 1966, the Roswell Arts
Festival Committee has worked tirelessly to bring quality artisans to Roswell for the benefit of
the community and to raise money in support of the Roswell Recreation and Parks
Department. The Roswell Arts Festival has raised money for a variety of projects
throughout its forty year history, including funding for the Roswell Visual Arts
Center, Roswell’s Riverside Park, funding for the Roswell Adult
Recreation Center, and funding for the purchase of sixty three
acres of land that would later become Roswell Area
Park. Through monies raised
by the annual festival, the Roswell Recreation Association has been able to
donate more than half a million dollars towards the betterment of recreation in
Roswell.
