Royal Oak is once again buzzing as the annual Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats & Eats festival takes over downtown.
The Labor Day weekend tradition brings together over 200 musical acts across multiple stages, a nationally recognized juried art fair, and more than 40 local restaurants serving everything from street eats to gourmet flavors. You don’t want to miss this!
The festival, now in its 28th year, is celebrated not only for its food and music but also for giving back! Known for its energy and its heart, Arts, Beats & Eats has raised millions for local charities while bringing people together for art, food, fun, and unforgettable music. It’s the perfect way to send summer off in style. With genres spanning rock, pop, R&B, country, and jazz, and artists showcasing everything from paintings to sculptures, there’s something for everyone to truly enjoy!
Adding to the excitement is the classic carnival midway, lighting up the festival with rides and thrills. Festival-goers can spin, drop, and soar on favorites like The Zipper or take in sweeping views of Royal Oak from the iconic Ferris wheel that has become a symbol of the weekend.
Arts, Beats & Eats runs through Labor Day, welcoming families, foodies, and music lovers to close out summer in style. To learn more, visit: artsbeatseats.com
