launches
[May 07, 2025]
The US Route 66 Centennial
website has launched.
The Route 66 Centennial will celebrate and commemorate the historic
milestone of the 100 anniversary of Route 66 and honor the Mother
Road by helping the millions who live, work, and travel along it.
The dedicated Centennial website highlights the magnitude of the
occasion with information about the vast array of activities,
programs, events, and projects during the year-long festivities
across the Mother Road.
The website highlights Official Route 66 Centennial events and
projects, including the recently announced National Centennial
Kickoff Event in Springfield, Missouri, a cavalcade of three
Centennial caravans, AAA Route 66 Road Fest, and the Untold Story of
Women on the Mother Road. It also focuses on Route 66 preservation
success stories and spotlights future needs.
Individuals and businesses
interested in participating in the Route 66 Centennial are invited
to register on the new website, subscribe to the monthly Route 66
Centennial Newsletter, become members of the Route 66 Centennial
Club, and stay informed about official Route 66 Centennial
activities.
Bill Thomas, Commissioner for the US Route 66 Centennial Commission
and Chair of the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership, said, "Look no
further if you're seeking the one-stop source for official Route 66
Centennial activities, programs, events, and projects.
