Kingman 66 Fest
Kingman's very first 66 Fest November 5 & 6, 2021.
The Kingman 66 Fest celebrates 95 years of Route 66, which was originally designated in November 1926. The event will be held November 5 & 6 in Lewis Kingman Park, a historic park that was one of the few shady US Hwy 66 rest stops.
The Fest will bring to Kingman its first zip-line, hosted by Rock It Up, and four escape room experiences by Brakeout Arizona. The event features six live bands over two days, food and craft vendors, a Kids Corner with vintage pedal car races, a motorcycle show, a classic car show, and a trackless train that will take youngins on joy rides around the park.
The event is free for spectators and free public parking is available in the adjacent lot at the corner of Andy Devine Ave (aka Route 66) and Fairgrounds Ave. For more information, call the Kingman Visitor Center at 1-866-427-7866.

Fun Zones
To launch Kingman's first 66 Fest, we're bringing some new and exciting things.
Portable escape rooms hosted by BrakeOut AZ will be part of this year's Fest. We'll have four rooms, each with a different theme. Form a team and put your detective skills to the test.
The 66 Fest is hiring Rock It Up and their 300' fly-wire Zip Line to bring the very first zip-line to Kingman.
For the little tikes, there will be a Kid's Corner hosted by the Key Club with face painting, pedal car races. We're also bringing back the trackless train, which will make its rounds around Lewis Kingman Park. Especially fitting because Lewis Kingman was the engineer who surveyed the railroad through Kingman in 1882.
To participate in rides and activities, Festival attendees must purchase a wristband and sign a liability waiver. Wristbands will be available for $10 each for general public or $5 for seniors 60+ and children under 12. Wristbands are good for both days and can be purchased with cash at the Festival or in advance by cash or credit card at the Kingman Visitor Center, located at 120 W. Andy Devine Ave.
