Route 66 Centennial

Get ready for an epic adventure across the United States! And guess what? There are also 8 states that make up the legendary Route 66, the Mother Road of America.

The grand opening of Route 66 was on November 11, 1926, which is also the official day we celebrate Veterans Day. That day, we remember the brave men and women who fought for our freedom, so we can drive Route 66 anytime, anywhere, on our own terms, and wherever our hearts lead us. That’s the true spirit of America’s Mother Road. And guess what? There will be even more celebrations along Route 66 that day. This centennial celebration is going to be unforgettable, beyond anything you can imagine or plan. That moment you can express your gratitude to a Veteran and then thank the road that brought you to them.
