TEXAS WELCOMES the WORLD SHAMROCK 2018 ROUTE 66 FESTIVAL
July 12-15, 2018
Join us for Food, Fun, Car Cruise, Rodeo, Dance, Artists, Authors, LIVE Music…and so much more!
We invite you to come explore Texas’ 178 miles of Route 66!
From our host City of Shamrock, with the famous U-Drop Inn on the East, to our infamous ghost town, Glenrio on the West we have sights to behold, places to visit and people to see! And as everyone knows Texas is the MidPoint of Route 66 so no matter which way you’re headed you’re half way there!! Like the windmills & wind turbines that share the wide open skies of the Texas Panhandle, you will discover the past and present on the Mother Road.
From the Route 66/Devils Rope Museum in McLean to the Milbern-Price Museum & Dot’s Mini-Museum in Vega, the history of Texas and Route 66 comes to life. Route 66 in Amarillo is a must see: with Art Galleries, Antique and Specialty shoppes, wonderful restaurants, two of which are the oldest restaurants on the Route, and bars that offer live music, we can keep you entertained form breakfast to bedtime!!
