Not sure how your business or group can participate? Check out our Roswell Moves! Pinterest page for activity ideas or check out some ideas below:

Free opportunities for participating:

ART GALLERIES -

• organize a "first Fridays" style gallery tour.  Canton street will be dedicated to pedestrians and other non motorized traffic making "tours" easier than ever  Plus with no outside alcohol vendors offering a free glass of wine and some cheese can help attract folks into your business. Wherever possible look to bring displays outside and closer to the street.
• art galleries partner with art groups to offer free art activities (chalk drawing, Roswell Rocks rock painting, a live art demonstration from a local artist, etc.)

RESTAURANTS -

• bring seating down to street (we do not want to block street as we want people to be able to move freely up and down street)
• ‎selling drinks out front - no outside alcohol vendors so take advantage and offer beer/wine purchase out front of your establishment
• free samples of appetizer, etc. Let people try out some of your food
• offer other free activities out front in any space you have available - free cooking class (how to make a great healthy snack), cornhole, hula hoops, chalk drawing, etc
• Partner with a health focused or community focused group for an activity

SHOPS

• bring some of your product out front for street sale, trunk sale, etc.
• invite local artisans, craft sellers, jewelry makers who are sold in your shop to attend and do live demonstrations of their work
• Test out product or make easy craft

YOGA/FITNESS/WELLNESS

• Coordinate class outside at your space, partner with restaurant or shop for free class out front of their space
• Coordinate with Bike Roswell! to lead an activity in the street such as a free class
• Partner with restaurant to hold talk/live demonstration about healthy eating, etc.

GENERAL TIPS:

• reach out to a community group you support and schedule a special event with them - an arts group, a local running club, an animal shelter, etc. And let them setup on your property or if they need more space connect them with us and we can coordinate so they have partial use of street in front of your business
• Chalk A-frames, balloons, etc. Indicating you are open and inviting people in
• offer a free activity for people, free giveaway (all kids get a free balloon),
• bring in your own entertainment.  Bands will be at far end of street (9 and Woodstock) but you can have bands as well - front porch concerts or front lawn or inside all work.  If outside, let us know so we can coordinate
• Don’t forget about other entertainment, such as performance art, dance, puppet show, etc.
