Additionally, we present the Bowman and Morrison awards to two distinguished members or volunteers who have made significant contributions to preserving the history of Royal Oak. We also bestow the Spirit of Royal Oak award upon a local business or organization in recognition of their dedication and support to our community. 0 3080 Every first Saturday in August, our annual Classic Car Show features over 100 vintage vehicles, showcasing the evolution of Historic Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak from the early 1900s to the 50s, 60s, and up to the present day.
