2026 Stroud SummerFest: Celebrating 100 Years of Route 66
The 2026 Stroud SummerFest is set to be one of the most memorable events in our town’s history as we proudly celebrate the Route 66 Centennial. For 100 years, Route 66 has represented freedom, travel, small-town charm, and the heart of America — and there’s no better place to honor that legacy than right here in Stroud. This year’s SummerFest will capture the nostalgia of the Mother Road while bringing together families, visitors, and businesses for a full day of celebration.
A Tribute to Route 66
Stroud has long been a proud stop along historic Route 66, and the Centennial gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase our community. From vintage-inspired details to classic cars lining Main Street, you’ll feel the spirit of the open road throughout the festival. Our Car Show will highlight beautifully restored classics, hot rods, and show vehicles that pay tribute to the golden era of American travel.
A Celebration of Our Past — and Our Future
The 2026 Stroud SummerFest is more than an event. It’s a celebration of our town’s history, our vibrant local businesses, and the strong sense of community that makes Stroud special. As Route 66 turns 100, we’re proud to stand along its path and celebrate the stories, memories, and milestones that have shaped us. Mark your calendar and make plans to join us for a Centennial celebration you won’t want to miss.
