Join us for “Route 66” Summerfest, June 6 and June 7 in Rolla, Missouri. This is the 31st year for this event. It was originally started to promote Downtown Rolla but has evolved into an area wide celebration for all ages to promote Old Route 66 and the beginning of summer.
🛣️🚘 Friday night, we kick off Summerfest with a cruise down Route 66 from St. James to Rolla. The activities begin in the festival lot in Downtown Rolla with the Crazy Funny Dog Show and Movie Under the Stars.
💿♫ There will be music in the food court from 4:30 – 8 p.m. 🛍️🥟Food and craft vendors will be open most of the evening. 🎏We’ll have lots of children’s games and activities all evening as well.
🚘Saturday starts bright and early at 8 a.m. with the Car Show lining up on Pine Street in downtown Rolla. Hosting over 150 cars, visiting from Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and more, this is a great show that is growing each year. Other Saturday activities include:
- 🖌️🎀 Arts and Crafts booths open at 9 a.m., along with the food vendors.
- 🤸 Free kids’ activities, thanks to a partnership with Missouri S&T Kummer Center for STEM Education
- 🤠🚜 Hillbilly drag race (featuring lawnmowers — it’s a great time!)
