Catalyst Media Factory

06/09/2026

It was a busy morning for the Catalyst Media Factory team in Royal Oak! Our team was behind-the-scenes facilitating the Michigan Lottery Arts, Beats & Eats press conference at Oakland Community College’s new Culinary Studies Institute.

It was great to see representatives from all four local television news stations, as well as radio and print media, covering the new announcements for this year’s festival over Labor Day weekend. Attendees can expect a dinosaur exhibit, Pride Stage, t-shirt design competition, and more!

Stay tuned as more experiences, lineups, and vendors are announced later this summer.
