- Music on the Hill – A free outdoor concert series hosted on the Roswell City Hall Lawn showcasing a variety of musical genres.
- Riverside Sounds – Longest-running outdoor concert series on the banks of the Chattahoochee River.

The City of Roswell has a mobile recycling trailer that provides containers to recycle plastic bottles and aluminum cans. This trailer can be borrowed by event organizers/applicants who would then be responsible for placing the recycling containers at the event, changing the bags when they are full, and notifying the attendees that recycling is available during the event.
The City of Roswell can also provide cardboard trash receptacles for $3 each. The event organizer/applicant is responsible for bags to put in the boxes and disposal of the trash.
