Celebrate the centennial of a truly legendary highway with a special screening of ROUTE 66: THE MAIN STREET OF AMERICA — a powerfully moving new feature-length documentary that follows the road, sharing unforgettable stories of the people and towns along the way.

The film will be shown at the Centre Theatre in downtown El Reno at 7 p.m. Thursday., Sept. 24.

El Reno’s fried onion hamburgers are highlighted in the film.

From unexpected roadside attractions to revitalized main streets, each encounter reveals communities finding new life and purpose—making new history—proving the most meaningful journeys often unfold on the road less traveled.

Whether you’ve driven Route 66 or only imagined it, this film takes you there — creating an immersive and heartfelt portrait of an American icon that’s full of humor, warmth, and discovery, said information provided by the creator of the film documentary. 

Following the film, those attending are invited to stay for conversation with director John Paget and some of THE MAIN STREET OF AMERICA’s real-life characters—the “everyday heroes” and enduring spirit of Route 66.
