Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion Weekend | 2026 | Ontario, CA
September 18 @ 2:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion is rolling back into Ontario with the kind of classic car weekend that feels built for cruising, not just parking.
This is one of those events where the movement is part of the appeal. More than 1,000 classic cars are expected to roll along historic Euclid Avenue, bringing out cruisers, convertibles, hot rods, Woodies, and other old-school favorites that look best in motion. Add in live music, food vendors, contests, official merchandise, and family activities, and the weekend starts to feel less like a single car show and more like a street-wide celebration of Route 66 car culture.
Created by GOCAL, the Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau, Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion has a strong identity as a long-running Southern California tradition. The event is held annually on the third Friday and Saturday of September, giving it that familiar calendar spot people can look forward to each year. Since a weekend this large has a lot of moving parts, visitors and participants should check the official event pages for cruise rules, entertainment updates, registration details, and any schedule changes before heading out.
Happening along Euclid Avenue in San Bernardino County, the setting is a big part of what gives the event its pull. A classic car parked at a show is one thing, but seeing rows of chrome, fins, whitewalls, wide grins, and rumbling exhaust moving through a historic street gives the whole weekend a different kind of energy. Ontario Town Square adds another anchor point with live entertainment, while the surrounding vendors and family activities help keep the day from feeling like just a loop of cars.
Bring the family, bring your walking shoes, and leave enough time to hear the cars before you see them. Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion feels like the kind of weekend where the best moments happen between the rows, when the music is playing, the street is busy, and another classic rolls by at just the right speed.
