Arts, Beats & Eats may get most of the Labor Day attention, but Royal Oak definitely doesn’t shut down once the festival is over.
If you’re looking for things to do in Royal Oak, Michigan in September, there are still plenty of options.
Spend the Weekend at the Royal Oak Farmers Market
The Royal Oak Farmers Market has something happening throughout the weekend.
There are Farm Fresh Fridays, the traditional Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Antiques and Collectibles Market on Sundays.
Because the market sits close to Downtown Royal Oak, it’s also easy to combine a morning there with lunch, shopping or another activity downtown.
Arboretum Walk — September 15
For something quieter, there’s a free evening Arboretum Walk on September 15.
It’s a chance to experience a side of Royal Oak visitors may not immediately associate with the city’s restaurants, entertainment and nightlife.
Mushroom Walk — September 26
On Saturday, September 26, the Royal Oak Nature Society hosts a guided Mushroom Walk.
Participants can learn more about mushrooms, fungi and the natural environment found within Royal Oak.
Turn It Into a Day in Downtown Royal Oak
After either outdoor event, head into Downtown Royal Oak for restaurants, shopping or drinks.
That combination of an active downtown district, established residential neighborhoods, community programming and access to green space is part of what gives Royal Oak its identity within Oakland County.
