TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa’s Route 66 Capital Cruise World-Record Classic Car Centennial Parade will feature 16 distinct Party Zones along the 5.5-mile spectator route.
Beginning at Yale Avenue and Route 66, and spaced around a quarter-mile apart heading west along the route, the Party Zones will be packed with music, food, entertainment, market vendors, games and activations, turning parking lots into block parties, each with its own host and sponsors.
“The biggest party on Route 66 keeps getting bigger!” said senior VP of tourism for the Tulsa Regional Chamber and president of Tulsa Regional Tourism Renee McKenney. “This is a truly citywide celebration, and thanks to these incredible sponsors, adding in sixteen different Party Zones to what was already the biggest Centennial Celebration of the year will make May 30 a once-in-a-century event. We want everyone to come get their kicks in the Capital of Route 66®!”
Guests can also enjoy the Finish Line Festival, sponsored by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, along with the Tulsa Kids Market sponsored by Red Diamond Iced Tea, Mayfest Market, and Made in Oklahoma Market, which will showcase local vendors and community partners.
The Mayfest Stage at Meadow Gold will feature live music and entertainment throughout the cruise.
As of Wednesday, more than 1,900 drivers from 36 states and Canada had registered for Tulsa’s record-breaking attempt.
Along with the Party Zones, there are over 100 confirmed on-route vendors and activations and over 75 exhibitors planned for the Capital Cruise Expo and the Bank of Oklahoma Capital Cruise Tailgate set for May 28-29.
