Get your kicks at the Route 66 Festival

A celebration of the nation’s Mother Road will bring thousands through Oklahoma this summer during the Route 66 Festival. 

The annual festival will take place in downtown Vinita on June 16-17. A centerpiece of the Route 66 Festival, a car show featuring classic automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles will take place, and the car show is sponsored by the Craig County Cruisers, a local organization of classic car enthusiasts.  

A block party on Friday night gathers friends old and new together, with food trucks, children’s activities, and rockin’ music on site to feed all your senses. A carnival with rides and games also will be on site during the weekend, as well as food vendors and arts and crafts vendors. 

If full-sized cars aren’t your thing, try a smaller version with a remote-controlled car. The Steam Alley races will be available for remote-controlled car racers of all ages and skill levels.
