Get Excited. Big Celebration Coming In Amarillo To Honor Route 66.
It's hard to believe it's already this time of year. The Route 66 Bag Adventure is back, and it is an entire day of fun planned for the whole family on the historic Mother Road in Amarillo.
It's a way to celebrate the places and people along Route 66 in Yellow City.
Route 66 Bag Adventure Is Coming Up In Early May...
...so you need to make your plans now to be there. First, there's no "gate fee." There's going to be plenty to do without making your bank account sweat. Since it is the Bag Adventure, there will be adventure bags to purchase.
How Exactly Does The "Bag Adventure" Work?
It's a pretty simple concept. The bags will be available to purchase at one of several locations. They include:
- Texas Route 66 Visitors Center
- Alley Katz
- Aunt EEK's
- Sonya's
- Texas Ivy
Once you have your bag, you go to participating locations. They will have a gift or a gift card to give you, and they'll stamp your "passport." The participating locations are "Travel Stops" and include:
- Meme's D.O.C. Cafe
- Handle Bar & Grill
- Texas Ivy Antiques
- The Muse
- Pink'd
- Sonya's Art Gallery
- Aunt EEK's Books and Curiosities
- Cornholio
- Alley Katz Antique Mall
- Evermore Antiques
- Lile Art Gallery
- The Nat
- Amarillo Candle Company
- Texas Route 66 Visitors Center
What Else Will There Be To Do At The Route 66 Bag Adventure?
It's not all passports and gifts, though that's an awfully nice perk for showing up. There's a lot planned.
Along with all of the shops and restaurants on Route 66, there will be vendors, snow cones, Carmel Corn, and of course...live music. It wouldn't be a shindig on 66 without live music.
More Events And Entertainment Added...
There will be a lot more than just that to enjoy. There's going to be a contest held by Cornholio. Silver Dollar Speedway will be having a sprint car contest.
Everyone's favorite local mascot, Ruckus, will be making an appearance that day on Route 66 from 12PM - 1PM.
There will also be the Classic Car Cruise.
