Arts, Beats & Eats that will take place in Royal Oak from Sept. 2 – 5. The Royal Oak Music Theater transformed into an indoor minute venue for a peek into what is promised to be bigger and better, if your imagination can handle that. Previews of upcoming attractions put a sparkle in the eye for beautiful handcrafted jewelry, tasty and appealing foods for the most discriminating palates, creative artistic wares, “beats” from local entertainers and healthy fitness techniques to help you maintain your lifestyle.

ARTS Beautiful unique designs to help jumpstart your desire to add to your jewelry wardrobe gleamed under the lights. Artistic designs created from unusual elements were displayed which will add conversation and beauty to your home. The stage was set and added an element of anticipation. This is an Award-Winning Juried Fine Arts show that you don’t want to miss.

BEATS The Michigan Lottery Stage promises to feature ‘…high profile, up and coming national acts as well as international stars.’ Funkadelic legend, George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars are headliners. There are so many great music delights that you will have to check the schedules to find out who you want to see.

EATS Awery’s Bakery presented delectable treats of an upscale cupcake type dessert that made the mouth sit up and take notice after the first bite. Awery’s Bakery is planning to showcase reasons for celebrating its 100th year in 2010. Town Tavern, Pronto and Palm Palace restaurants had very appetizing displays with absolutely delicious entrees. It will be difficult to decide where and how much you want to indulge. There are approximately 70 restaurants, caterers, and dining attractions lined up. Soaring Eagle Cuisine Machine has a ‘hookup’ that will make everyone ‘line up’ to sample. There’s even a cooking school “Duel” on tap. You can definitely get your ‘Eats’ on by visiting this event.

Family activities will offer something for all. The Oakland County Parks Kids Stage will feature performances to engage a wide age range. Fun continues with hands on activities from the Creative Arts Studio of Royal Oak Kids Arts & Crafts as well as a Kids Zone. Healthy tips and activities have been planned with a wide array of events to help keep the fitness themes exciting. There are numerous activities planned for day and night to keep the crowds coming.

This could possibly be a ritual that many look forward to each year to help extend the Labor Day celebration. There has been much thought and preparation put into making this year an outstanding one.
