ROUTE 66: THE MAIN STREET OF AMERICA
Join us for a special Route 66 Centennial Celebration screening of Route 66: The Main Street of America—a moving and often surprising documentary that brings America’s most legendary highway to life through the people who call it home.
The new film unfolds as a series of vivid, character-driven stories—from dreamers and small business owners to preservationists and everyday heroes—each offering a unique window into life along the road. Together, these stories form a rich and deeply human portrait of Route 66 today: a place of resilience, reinvention, and unexpected opportunity.
From roadside attractions to revitalized main streets, the film captures the spirit of communities finding new life and new purpose—proving that sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin when you take the road less traveled.
Whether you’ve driven Route 66 or only imagined it, this film offers an engaging, heartfelt look at an American icon—full of humor, warmth, and discovery.
Following the screening, stay for a live Q&A with filmmaker John Paget, along with select participants from the film. Hear the stories behind the stories and meet the people who continue to shape Route 66 today.
