Roswell, a city north of Atlanta in the state of Georgia, is an attractive base for visitors attending concerts, sporting events and other entertainment in the northern part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The city combines a lively dining and music scene with a historic setting and an abundance of green spaces, making it easy to turn a trip to an event into a longer stay. The area around the Historic District and Canton Street is particularly popular for its restaurants, bars, shops and welcoming atmosphere before or after an event.

For getting around Roswell and reaching the wider Atlanta area, MARTA – Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority plays an important role. The city is served by Route 85 (Roswell/Mansell Road), Route 185 (Alpharetta/Holcomb Bridge Road) and Route 142 (Holcomb Bridge Road East), while Routes 85 and 185 provide connections to North Springs Station and the MARTA rail network serving other parts of the metropolitan area. For visitors arriving from elsewhere in the United States or from abroad, the main aviation hub is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Road connections through the GA-400 corridor also make it easier to reach Roswell and larger arenas, stadiums and concert venues across the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Before or after an event, it is worth exploring the Roswell Historic District, walking along Canton Street or visiting Old Mill Park and Vickery Creek, where a covered pedestrian bridge connects the historic area with the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Another defining part of the city is the Chattahoochee River, bordered by recreational areas and the Roswell Riverwalk. The combination of historic homes, green trails, river scenery and dining options gives Roswell enough to discover to make a concert, game or other event part of a broader experience of this Georgia city.
