Tickets to participate are only $40 in advance and $50 the day of. Each ticket buyer gets vouchers to try each item at each place. I would dare to say that you won't even be able to get to all of these places in time and that you will eat and drink a lot more than $40-$50. 

This is a cool way to get out, check out Royal Oak, and try some good food and Michigan based drinks. To find out more about the stroll, follow the event on Facebook here. Cheers!
