Whether you call it the Mother Road, the Main Street of America, or simply Route 66, the lore of the open road in the United States is largely defined by one historic highway. Route 66 turns 100 in 2026, but the celebrations start in 2025 with the Texas Route 66 Festival in June. Ten days of car shows, live music, bus tours, a cattle drive, a parade, and festivities along Texas’s iconic stretch on Route 66 make for a destination-worthy lineup. And it all culminates with the finale in Amarillo’s Route 66 Historic District on June 14.
