ROSWELL, Ga. – It’s that time of the year again when Roswell’s historic Canton Street transforms into an expansive, car-free urban oasis. Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 27 2025 as ‘Roswell Moves!’ returns for its spectacular fifth edition. This innovative ‘open streets’ event, orchestrated by Bike Roswell! and strongly supported by the City of Roswell and our partners, including our sponsors, Top Job Beverage & Events and Visit Roswell, is set to redefine your Sunday fun.
Starting at 8 a.m., the day kicks off with the iconic Bike Roswell! Mayor’s Ride, now in its 22nd year. Cyclists can choose from routes of 18, 40 to 64 miles. Beginning at City Hall, riders will be lead out by new sponsor Regal INEOS Grenadier and ending on Canton Street with a great lunch. Simultaneously, Canton Street, stretching from Heart of Roswell Park to Woodstock Road, will be a vehicle-free zone from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., hosting a variety of activities from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. While there’s a registration fee for the Mayor’s Ride, all other Roswell Moves! activities are free to enjoy.
