Arts, Beats & Eats on 5th Charity Preview returns to Royal Oak on August 21st 2025 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The inaugural charity benefit preview last year drew 300 civic and business leaders together to sample great food and custom cocktails and groove to music by artists scheduled to perform at the annual Labor Day weekend festival.
We invite you to join the fun this year under the skies on Fifth Street in Royal Oak, between Washington and Center Streets. (Rain location is the Fifth Avenue nightclub) VIP reception tickets are $100 from 5:30 to 6:30, and general admission is $50.
You can reserve your tickets or choose a sponsorship by clicking here for next year’s event.
This year we have invited six nonprofits to sell tickets to the event. They will receive 75 percent of the ticket price and bring a new audience to the event.
Since its creation, the Royal Oak Civic Foundation has quietly directed more than $300,000 to fund community programs and senior transportation, address food insecurity during the pandemic, help kids during the holidays, and replace the piano at the senior center.
