PRIDE STAGE

new pride stage adds fresh energy to festival entertainment lineup

Arts, Beats & Eats will debut its 11th entertainment venue this year with the introduction of the Pride Stage, a new performance space celebrating inclusion, creativity and community. Located on the Pronto patio, the stage will showcase K10 performances throughout the four-day festival, featuring a diverse lineup of musicians, entertainers and cultural programming designed to amplify voices and experiences from across the region. 

 Detroit jazz and soul favorite Ben Sharkey is among the first performers confirmed for the stage, with additional artists and special programming to be announced later this summer. 

 The Pride Stage joins an already expansive entertainment lineup that transforms downtown Royal Oak into one of Michigan's largest live music destinations each Labor Day weekend.
