City of Tulsa officials provided more details Wednesday about the Route 66 Capital Cruise: World Record Classic Car Parade, set for May 30, 2026, during the Route 66 centennial.
The Tulsa World reported:
Cars will stage at Expo Square, with the official 5.5-mile spectator’s route beginning at Yale Avenue and 11th Street. Cars will travel west along 11th Street and pass through the roundabout at Elgin Avenue, where the road becomes 10th Street but is still aligned with historic Route 66. The parade route will end at 10th Street and Denver Avenue, where there is easy access to major highways. […]
The name of the event is perhaps a little presumptuous, but the goal is aspirational: Organizers hope to attract more than 3,000 entrants to make it the longest classic car parade in recorded history.
The official count of entrants will take place in front of The Markets at Mother Road. […]
Other details of the parade are still being worked out, organizers said, but the hope is to have more than 200,000 people.
If you wish to enter your vehicle in the parade, go to this website. Vehicles must be from 1996 and earlier.
Those who wish to volunteer or sponsor the event can sign up at the same website.
