Metro Detroits annual Arts, Beats & Eats festival has been canceled this year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, officials announced Wednesday. The Royal Oak festival reoccurs every Labor Day weekend, featuring exactly what its named for -- art for sale, live music and food vendors. The Beats Go on initiative will host virtual concerts in addition to live drive-in concerts in an effort to raise $500,000 for local musicians. Between Sept. 4-7 a series of live, limited-occupancy drive-in concerts will be held in Downtown Royal Oak. I think weve found a fun solution.More detailed information can be found on the Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats & Eats website here.
