Get ready for lots of tacos in downtown Royal Oak over Fourth of July weekend. A new festival, called Royal Oak Taco Fest, will take place from Friday, July 1 through Monday, July 4. The event will take place around South Main Street/CN Railroad, West Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets and South Washington Avenue.

The event will offer tacos, tequila, music, mariachis and more over four days, boasting more than 35 taquerias, taco trucks and other food spots. Attendees will also be asked to vote for their favorite tacos.

Jon Witz of Jonathan Witz and Associates is spearheading the event. He also puts on Arts, Beats & Eats, Winter Blast Royal Oak and Detroit Harvest Fest & Food Truck Rally.

“We’re excited to be offering a new, deliciously fun-filled Fourth of July weekend to celebrate great food, drinks and a little Mexican culture with the entire family in downtown Royal Oak,” Witz said in a statement. “The Royal Oak Taco Fest will serve as a great opportunity to showcase metro Detroit’s finest tacos and impressive musical talent to kick off the summer.”

For more information, head to the event’s official website or call 248-541-7550.
