A block-party night of live bands, local eats, refreshing drinks, pop-up shops and family fun. Three Friday evenings all summer long — come hang out with your neighbors on Oak Street.
Last summer, downtown Roswell businesses came together to close off Oak Street for a series of family-friendly block parties. It's grown into one of the best nights of the season — and it keeps getting bigger.
Two live acts every Jam — afternoon and evening sets keep the energy going all night long.
Crafts, face painting and a bounce house. A whole corner of the street built just for the little ones.
Delicious food from Roswell's favorite local restaurants and food vendors. Come hungry.
Unique finds from local makers and small businesses you won't see anywhere else.
Water, soda, craft beverages and 21+ options from area vendors to keep the good times going.
String lights, open streets and the whole community out together. This is what summer feels like.
No tickets, no cover, no catch. Just show up — bring the family, the neighbors and the dog.
May 22, June 26 & July 24, all 5–9 PM. Make it a summer tradition — come to one or come to all three.
Each Jam runs 5–9 PM. Here's how a typical evening flows.
The opening act sets the tone for the evening on the main stage.
Bounce house, crafts and face painting kick off. Food vendors and pop-up shops open along the street.
Peak strolling time. Grab dinner from local restaurants and browse the makers' market.
The night's second act closes things out as the string lights come on.
See you at the next Jam! Streets reopen and we do it all again next month.
Oak Street is closed to traffic between Canton Street and Atlanta Street for the festival.

Many of our sponsors are the very same local businesses you'll meet on the street — they put their name behind the Jam to keep it free and growing for the community.
Three Friday nights. A closed-off Oak Street packed with local families. Sponsoring the Jam isn't a donation — it's the best local marketing in Roswell, and it shows the community you helped build the night.

Local Roswell families — your exact customers
Every sponsor is promoted across our website, social channels, and on-site signage. We'll tailor a package to your budget and goals.
Sponsorship puts your business in front of thousands of Roswell families across three summer nights. Packages start small — let's talk.
Become a Sponsor →Oak Street is closed to cars for the Jam, so you'll park nearby and walk in. Here's exactly where to go — including the easiest option if you've got a stroller in tow.
Over 400 free spaces and the most stroller-friendly approach: flat, well-lit sidewalks the whole way, about a 5–7 minute (¼-mile) walk to Oak Street. If you're bringing little ones and a stroller, start here. Arrive before 6 PM and you'll have your pick of spots.
Green St. behind Fire Station #1 (1056 Green St) — 70 free spaces, 24/7. Hagan Center (Canton & Norcross) — 67 spaces, free after 5 PM. Both a short walk in.
The newest covered option at GA-9 & Green Street — currently free during downtown construction. Great if it's hot or raining and you want shade for the walk.
Spots on Canton St & Elizabeth Way are metered after 6 PM (~$2/hr, pay by kiosk or the ParkMobile app). Convenient but limited — the free lots are a better bet for a 4-hour evening.
Enter on foot from Canton Street or Atlanta Street — look for the festival banners and string lights. The whole site is flat and easy with a stroller or wheelchair.
ADA spaces are available in the City Hall lot and the Green Street deck. The closed street itself is flat, paved and fully stroller / wheelchair friendly.
Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome. Bring both cash and cards — most vendors take both. Strollers and wagons are easy to roll the whole length of the street.
Tip: rideshare drop-off is easy too — have your driver aim for the Canton & Norcross corner, then it's a flat one-block walk to the entrance.
