Get your kicks on Route 66 — or at least the celebrate the Mother Road with the first-ever Route 66 Festival in downtown Kirkwood on Saturday. The festival starts early — 8 a.m. — with vintage cars arriving into downtown Kirkwood. At 10:15 am, the cars will begin to depart on their eight-day journey to Santa Monica, Calif. Throughout the day, there will be live bands in the Station Plaza across from City Hall as well as a variety of family-friendly activities, including Disney characters. Rev up those engines.
OK, it's not free, but at $10, the RFT Music Showcase is a pretty good deal. The event starts at 1 p.m., Saturday and goes until 3 a.m. More than 70 local bands will be playing in 10 separate venues in the Grove neighborhood along Manchester between Vandeventer and Kingshighway.
