We thought it was great. The vendors and booths in the square added a whole new dimension to the event. The addition of some picnic tables would be great. It was much more family-friendly.

I stopped, much to my dismay; I was stopped in my car in the traffic burning my $3.69/gallon gas as I tried to go about my children's regular Thursday evening activities! It was bad enoungh for those of us who live around the historic area when the activities were confined to Canton street. Now, they've closed Canton and added this whole new dimension. Roswell, it's good for business; just don't try to live there.

We went by - that end of town - less crazy. Good time - neat having the food trucks there. We ended up eating at the public house (J Christoper's) which was very good. Hope it continues to spread! Roswell Rocks!

Interesting first attempt. Traffic at this time of day thru SR9 and Hwy 120 not very friendly to this event. I can walk to the Square. Food trucks were fun but expensive for what you got. Picnic tables as mentioned by someone are a good idea. As would garbage cans that allow you to recycle your trash on the spot. Music could be improved. Would I return? Maybe, maybe not. Nice to hear that the upstairs bar of the old Public House is reopening in the evenings. Most beautiful bar in the city.
