The Route 66 Centennial

The Route 66 Centennial is a once in a 100-year opportunity and the Road Ahead invites you to the party the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership is planning for this historic milestone.
Our Party With a Purpose aims to celebrate, commemorate, and honor Route 66 by helping the millions of people who live, work, and travel along it.
And what’s a party without presents? Our presents includes activities, commemorations, and a series of programs focused on preservation, tourism promotion, research/education, and the economic development of Route 66.
