Historic Lewis Kingman Park — once a shady sanctuary for travelers baking under the Arizona sun — transforms into a vibrant gathering space, with music, engines, neon, vintage charm, and echoes of classic Americana at every corner. The trees still whisper road trip stories, but for two days, the park sings.
What to Expect? Everything.
From rockin’ bands to regional craft beers on tap in the beer garden, it’s a two-day celebration of Route 66 culture. Expect rows of classic cars, polished bikes, restored vintage trailers that double as nostalgia on wheels, a photobooth to capture your 1950s alter ego, and kids laughing their way through activity zones.
And don’t miss the zipline — the first and only one in Kingman. Yes, you can actually fly over the crowd while holding a hot dog in one hand and a camera in the other (maybe not recommended, but theoretically possible).
It's all free to attend, with public parking right next door at the corner of Andy Devine Ave and Fairgrounds Ave.
