The Texas Route 66 Festival is a ten-day celebration, June 4 through 13, 2026, unfolding across multiple towns along the Texas Panhandle’s 178-miles of Route 66. From rodeos and cattle drives to car shows, concerts, and community gatherings, the Festival stretches all along the Mother Road.

Route 66 has never been just about the destination. It is about the journey. Ten full days of events lead travelers town to town, mile by mile, building toward the grand finale in Amarillo’s Route 66 Historic District, where the Centennial closes out in true Texas style.
