Overview

This free tour series is generously sponsored by the Royal Oak Downtown Development Authority

Downtown Royal Oak is one of Oakland County’s most well-known destinations because of the breadth and diversity of its business district. From entertainment and nightlife destinations, specialty restaurants and inspiring shops to sneaky secluded pocket plazas, the west side of Downtown Royal Oak is full of its own unique assets. This tour will shine a light on this side of Main Street's small businesses, local favorites and one-of-a-kind retail opportunities while introducing you to many of the people that give Downtown Royal Oak its character. Small tastes of local food and beverage businesses will also be included along the itinerary. Whether you’ve been here a day or a lifetime, you will see people, places and possibilities you never knew were there.

Only registered participants are guaranteed a spot.
