After decades away, a beloved Roswell tradition from the 80’s/90’s returns-reimagined for today’s creative community. The Festival of the Painted Rock is back, blending art, music, and nature in a one-of-a-kind outdoor celebration.
Why “Painted Rock”?
The festival’s name was inspired by the Chattahoochee River, whose Creek language name means “rocks-marked” or “painted.” Local legend tells of granite formations along the riverbanks, likened to turtles basking in the sun-a symbol of the natural beauty and cultural spirit that shapes our community.
Why We Celebrate
The Festival of the Painted Rock is more than a day of celebration-it’s an investment in Roswell’s creative future. Your ticket supports Roswell Arts Fund and the Chattahoochee Nature Center, fueling public art, cultural vibrancy, and environmental education for all.
