The Birthplace of Route 66 Festival is back on for 2021.
Amenities at the next festival are anticipated to include 1,500 servings of donated Andy s Frozen Custard, live music by acts including two-time Super Bowl performers Sixwire, honor for area health care heroes who shepherded the community through COVID-19, and a show and parade including at least 350 classic American cars.
Organizers hope attendance for the August outdoor event will include 15,000 more people than turned out for the 2019 festival, the last year Birthplace of Route 66 went forward before the COVID-19 pandemic. I d love to have 66,000 people, quipped local lawyer Aaron Sachs, a key festival sponsor. But I believe it s going to be more like 80,000-plus that s going to attend.
