The City of Roswell, Roswell Cultural Arts and Roswell Roots Committee, proudly present an impressive array of 24 events celebrating Black experience in art, education, history, cultural, and performance. Now in its 24th year, Roswell Roots 2025 is January 30th through February 23rd.
This month long festival brings our diverse community together and is poised to provide an exceptional experience for attendees of all ages. Honoring Black History Month is very important to Roswell and is a powerful celebration of resilience, achievement and the profound contributions made to history.
“This is my 2nd year of being part of the Roswell Roots committee, I've never worked in this aspect with the art community before, but I was encouraged to try something new and be a part of something great. I will have to say, this has been a great experience for me. The committee has some very committed members and very talented artists as well. I like this year; we are doing more to engage the children by adding more shows for their education and their entertainment. The Roswell Roots Committee helps me feel like I have a place in the community and sharing my culture matters. I like art exhibits, especially the visual arts that really showcase the beautiful mind of the artist and their canvas. I also like music and movies, so I'm looking forward to the movie screening of Mo’ Better Blues and the discussion to follow, as well and American Idol winner and platinum artist Ruben Studdard live on stage at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. I'm looking forward to being at every event - Thelma Gabb
“In view of the current times, Black Americans need to be included in the conversation of what makes this country great. Division creates diversion and our focus should be on continuing to bring awareness to the America that should be inclusive. All of us have contributed something positive to the greatness of this country. The Roswell Roots Festival is a celebration of the consciousness, curiosity, creativity and the contributions of our community. I believe the festival is successful in presenting what makes this country great.” – Sharon Crumley
