As we prepare for the 100th anniversary of the legendary Route 66 in 2026, we invite local organizations, businesses, and community groups to take part in this once-in-a-century celebration. If you’re planning a Route 66–themed festival, exhibit, cruise, performance, or special event, submit it for review. Once approved, your event will be featured on the Visit Joliet website, helping travelers and residents explore all the ways our city is honoring the Mother Road’s centennial.
