Flagstaff Celebrates the Route 66 Centennial
Reminiscent of the era, this event will be a day-long, free, family-friendly experience featuring nostalgic reenactments, a classic car show, skywriting, streetscape art installations, and a festival in ‘The only 7,000-foot elevation, pine-fresh, dark-sky city on the Mother Road.’
66 Things-to-Do is a digital passport offering many must-do activities and experiences, including indulging in a hot dog at the Route 66 location that inspired a famous Eagles song, dancing or raising a glass in an original roadhouse... all this and more.
Yep, That's Flagstaff!
