FREE, live music is a big part of the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival every year. Crowds enjoyed the music of many of the area’s top performing acts on four stages: the Aaron Sachs stage in Motorcycle Village, the Chevy Dealers of the Ozarks Stages on both Park Central Square and in the Shrine Mosque, and the Rotary Rendezvous stage in the Expo lot.
