Mark your calendar and come celebrate where history, community, and a little bit of nostalgia meet! The excitement is already building for Carlinville's Route 66 Jubilee, a one-of-a-kind celebration honoring 100 years of the Mother Road, happening June 26 on the Macoupin County Courthouse lawn. And yes, the date is just as iconic as the highway itself, 6-26-26, a the perfect nod to Carlinville’s 62626 roots.

Spend the day surrounded by the sights and sounds of vintage Route 66, from beautifully restored Ford Model A cars to old-fashioned games like sack races and kick the can. You’ll find storytelling, live music, and historical presentations woven throughout the day, bringing the spirit of the road to life in a way that’s engaging for all ages.

Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the Roaring ’20s, think feathers, fedoras, pinstripes, and pearls, and maybe you'll even win the best dressed contest as a flapper or gangster!

Come get your kicks on Route 66 in the 62626!
