Route 66 Rendezvous
Hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Springfield
Circle August 8-9, 2025 in your calendars for one of Springfield’s most meaningful and historic community events. Held during the annual Birthplace of Route 66 Festival, this celebration brings together over 65,000 attendees and commemorates Springfield’s vital role in naming America’s most legendary highway. More importantly, it showcases the power of Rotary—uniting all five local Rotary Clubs and the Springfield Rotaract Club in service, celebration, and civic pride.
This year’s event will offer even more ways for Rotarians and community partners to shine. The LED video wall at St. Louis and Kimbrough will spotlight sponsors and Rotary messaging, while the indoor VIP hospitality space offers a first-class experience for sponsors and their guests. Most importantly, the event serves as a major fundraising and awareness platform for Birthplace Plaza—a signature civic project being built just in time for the 2026 Route 66 Centennial.
Rotarians and Rotaractors are also encouraged to volunteer. From stage setup to greeting guests at the parking garage and hosting in VIP areas, there's a role for everyone. Volunteers help ensure this event's success while making meaningful connections and demonstrating Rotary's value to the broader community.
