Become an Ambassador
Get Your City in on the Fun
In anticipation of the 100th Anniversary of Route 66 in 2026, AAA has created a celebratory event, the AAA Route 66 Road Fest. This inaugural weeklong Road Fest will be held in Oklahoma in 2022, beginning in OKC on June 18th and 19th and Tulsa on June 25th and 26th.
To encourage travel along the route in the way of potential “day-trippers” and bite-size itineraries; we are establishing a Route 66 Road Fest Ambassador program. Being a part of the Ambassador Program is free and offers members several opportunities to engage their communities in conjunction with the AAA Route 66 Road Fest.
We welcome all ambassadors and other businesses along Route 66 to create their own unique events for travelers coming in for the Road Fest to complete their Route 66 experience. We can also provide your event some added exposure that could include social media, eblasts and other Road Fest marketing elements. A link to upload your event information in our official Route 66 Road Fest calendar will be provided in your Ambassador approval email along with a few tips on how to maximize your event submission.
