Your Big Welcome to a Legendary Road
The Illinois Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Festival is a two-day celebration hosted by the communities that make up the 100-mile linear museum spanning from the Chicago suburbs to Central Illinois. Member Communities roll out the red carpet to Mother Road travelers with antique, art, and craft shows, yard sales, cruise-ins, and live entertainment. This is a unique and fun way to explore the communities along the first stretch of Historic Route 66! Experience the sights and sounds of the road just like the cross-country travelers of yesteryear.
