About This Event

What to Expect

• 1.There are multiple stages and hundreds of art booths across Downtown Royal Oak, so map a route in advance. Pick a few must see acts to catch between bites.
• 2.The crowd is bustling and walk through friendly, so wear comfy shoes and keep your belongings secure. You'll probably be moving with the crowd a lot.
• 3.Food lines can be long and portions vary, so plan what to taste and consider sharing with friends to get more variety. Bring a little cash and a card if vendors accept both.
• 4.Since the festival runs from 11:00 to 23:00, pace yourself and take breaks in shaded spots to avoid fatigue. The event can be tiring if you power through.
• 5.First timers should download the festival map or pick up a printed guide, arrive early for parking, and use cross streets to navigate around busy corridors.
