Welcome to Summerfest 2026… The one where “Route 66” turns 100!
Celebrate 100 Years of Route 66 at Summerfest!
Join us in Downtown Rolla for a once-in-a-century kickoff to summer — June 4–6, 2026 — as we celebrate the Centennial of Route 66 in style!
We’ll kick things off Thursday night with a ribbon cutting and parade, featuring classic cars, and motorcycles ending at the festival lots.
After the parade, stick around for the first-ever Summerfest BBQ Cook-Off! We have a great prize for best pitmaster!
