A celebration on Historic Route 66 designed to remember the role Springfield played in the history of Route 66, and the fact that the road was named here.
Tommy Pike, former president of the Route 66 Association of Missouri and founder of the festival, has died. Our condolences go out to the Pike family. https://t.co/NiDOKrA4Dm

🐾 Please consider: the majority of the festival footprint is on pavement and sidewalks, which can be extra hot on pets' paws & even cause burns. Please consider if your pets might be happier and safer at home in the shade or AC. And please NEVER leave your pet in a parked car!
Springfield Little Theatre will once again perform before the Birthplace of Route 66 Parade on the Chevy Dealers of the Ozarks Stage in Park Central Square at 5 p.m. this evening!
