City Commission Meets Monday

Residents can find agendas for city commission meetings on the city's website.

Please note, meeting agendas are often revised at the last minute, so please recheck the agenda prior to the meeting for any changes.

Saturday at the Market

This Saturday, August 9 from 7AM–1PM and head to the Royal Oak Farmers Market for a day of celebration. In addition to your favorite Saturday vendors, you'll find 50+ more in the west parking lot—including some of the Market’s popular Sunday antique & collectible dealers.

Enjoy live entertainment, a petting farm, kids crafts, and delicious eats like fresh-grilled corn, BBQ, burgers, and more.

The City of Royal Oak is proud to celebrate this milestone with one of our community’s most cherished institutions. Don’t miss it!

DTE Open House

Stop by the South Oakland Family YMCA on Thursday, Aug. 14 from 4–6:30PM to connect with DTE Energy representatives and learn about upcoming tree trimming, grid upgrades, and other local energy projects.

Bonus: Free BBQ from Uncle Jerry's BBQ while it lasts!

Love your street tree? Show it some H2O!

Newly planted right-of-way trees need our help—especially during hot, dry spells. Trees planted as part of the city's Tree Canopy Restoration Program need 5 gallons of water twice a week through October. Slow and steady wins the race (think trickling hose or soaker hose).

General guidelines for caring for right-of-way trees:

Water weekly for 2 summers
Mulch smart—never touch the trunk
No weed whips near the base
Remove support stakes after 1 year

Healthy trees = cooler, greener neighborhoods!

NEW TREE CARE TIPS

Pick Up the 2025 Park Passport

You can pick up the 'Farmers Market Edition' of the 2025 Park Passport in the Royal Oak Farmers Market office and at City Hall during normal business hours. Now paperback perfect bound with a glossy cover, the new passport is packed with fresh photos, and updated info on all 51 parks.

Royal Oak Senior Center is Closed

The Senior Center is closed for renovations, including updated bathrooms, new flooring, and more. Staff have relocated to the Royal Oak Public Library to continue to serve you throughout the project.

Transportation and travel will continue as usual.
ROSES and AGE counseling and support programs will continue as usual.
If you're registered for a program, staff will be in touch to update you. We're working hard to find alternative locations for as many programs as possible to minimize impact on services.

The renovation is expected to be completed by August 18. We can't wait to welcome you back into our brighter and better Center! Thanks for your patience as we work to create an improved facility for all.
