About the Festival

The Clinton Route 66 Festival is a local favorite, as it's predecessor the Clinton Hot Dog Daze dates back over three decades. Back in 2007, Clinton was the host of the National Route 66 Festival and at that time combined the famous Hot Dog Daze and the local car show to boast an even bigger event as the national Route 66 Festival came through town, add in a wiener dog race and there you have a fun filled day. 

Saturday’s activities will take place in in the downtown area on Frisco between 4th and 10th Streets. Activities will include a 66 Sidewalk Chalk Contest, Car Show, Weiner Dog Races, hot pepper contest, a kids car race, lots of great food, and a variety of vendors. Registration for the Car Show begins at 7:00 a.m. at the corner of 10th and Frisco. At 10am the festival officially kicks off and registration for the Weiner Dog Races begin at 12:30pm just next to the yellow track which will be at 5th and Frisco, just prior to the races. Anyone wanting to impress your friends can enter the hot pepper eating contest at 12pm. The Car Show wraps up at 3pm with recognition and trophies to be awarded. Free concert downtown at 7pm thanks to the Clinton All School Reunion.
