Lake overholser bridge on historic route 66
Welcome to Oklahoma City!
This year marks two national celebrations – the Route 66 Centennial and America’s 250th Birthday! Oklahoma City’s story is woven into both significant commemorations. Our country and city share a complex past filled with examples of grit and resilience that have nurtured our people and present. We are innovators, descendants and allies, influenced by both the past and the desire to make the future better for all. From Civil Rights icon Clara Luper to the 40th anniversary of Red Earth Festival, come join in the celebration of OKC’s distinctive roots and cultural diversity. In 1926, the Mother Road was built to connect rural America to urban centers, and 100 years later it still attracts visitors from around the world for a great American road trip. With nostalgic diners and photogenic landmarks, plus new, modern attractions, Oklahoma City’s stretch of Route 66 is as quirky and fun as the people you’ll meet along our 51 miles of the famous highway. In OKC, you’ll be greeted with an overflowing kindness as you discover our special blend of friendly Southwest hospitality. As one of America’s top 20 cities, you can explore nationally acclaimed dining and street art, cheer on your team in one of our world-championship sports venues or stroll like a local through our many districts. We invite you to enjoy the soul-stirring experiences that await you in Oklahoma City.
