The cars, the music, the fun and nostalgia that Route 66 has brought to generations will return for a 23rd year, rolling into historic downtown Springfield.

The show is locally managed by Greg "Coop" and Sue Cooper, with operations headed by Shane "Shaner" McDermith. Keeping the show local and focused on a community feel with much of the tradition that the Mother Road Festival has become known for, is top priority in 2024.
