Arts, Beats & Eats



 Arts, Beats and Eats is a festival that takes place in Royal Oak from August 31st – September 3rd. It is another great way to bring the community together to celebrate our love of music, art and of course, great food. This will be the 15th annual event for downtown Royal Oak. The event is held for celebrators of all ages. The young and the old are encouraged to come out to show their support of the city, while exploring new insight to the love of art, music and food.

Ten stages will hold over 200 performers for the four day event. It’s an awesome way to support local artists, and find some new music to love. Admission bands for the weekend only cost $3.00, so it is easy to bring the whole family for the weekend, or even for a day.

Along with great music, the streets are lined with amazing art work and artists proud to show off their talents. 135 artists will line the streets with ceramics, digital art, drawing/pastels, fabric/fiber/leather, graphics/printmaking, jewelry, metal, mixed media 2-D and 3-D, painting, photography, sculpture and wood pieces. Supporting the artists of the Detroit area helps them become recognized, and also makes for an exciting weekend for visitors. 


65 booths will be set up with all different types of food venders. This means there is something everyone will love. Adults will be able to explore different types of food they have never tried before, while children will be satisfied with familiar eats from the surrounding community. This is a great way to find new businesses in the area to support.

Arts, Beats and Eats is a great way to present the community with music they may have never heard before. It also gives local restaurants the opportunity to share their love of food and fine dining with the locals and visitors. You may find a new favorite place to eat, a new favorite artist, or your new favorite song! I hope to see you there!

For anyone interested in attending, the event hours are listed below. As you can see, the festival goes from morning until night, so if you only have a couple hours to spend, there will be plenty of time in the four days to make it out and show your support.
