The 2024 Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats & Eats festival will take place from August 30 to September 2 in downtown Royal Oak, featuring headliners including rock bands Cheap Trick and Tesla, country star Dustin Lynch, and R&B legend Keith Sweat. More than 200 performances across nine stages will showcase a mix of local and national acts, with a focus on diverse musical genres. The festival will also feature a juried art show, family-friendly activities, and a wide variety of food vendors, including local restaurants and food trucks. Additionally, a cannabis retail and consumption area will return following a successful debut last year. Tickets are priced at $7 in advance, with various promotions available, including free admission before 5 p.m. on the first day. The event aims to draw significant crowds, building on last year's attendance of 345,000 and raising funds for local charities.
