Route 66 Sunday Rendezvous | 2026 | San Bernardino, CA
Route 66 Sunday Rendezvous is rolling into San Bernardino for 2026 with a format that starts as a cruise and ends at the ballpark. The day begins at La Plaza Park as part of the Route 66 centennial celebration, then continues with a ride to San Manuel Stadium, where participants can park and stay for the game.
That cruise element is really the heart of this one. Rather than meeting straight at a show site, attendees get the chance to start the day in a more moving, Route 66-centered setting before heading over to the stadium together. It gives the event a different feel from a standard car gathering, especially for people who like the driving part as much as the destination. Classic cars and motorcycles are part of the mix, so the overall atmosphere should land somewhere between community cruise, local celebration, and pre-game meetup.
Organized by the Inland Empire 66ers, the event ties into the 100-year anniversary of Route 66 while also folding in a baseball outing at San Manuel Stadium. That makes it a little more specific than a typical weekend cruise. The package includes parking and game access, which helps shape the day into more of a full outing than a quick stop-in event. It is a simple concept, but one that makes sense: mark the Route 66 milestone, enjoy the ride, and carry the gathering into the afternoon at the stadium.
Set in San Bernardino, the route from La Plaza Park to San Manuel Stadium gives the event a local backdrop that feels especially fitting for a Route 66-themed gathering. Guests can expect to see classic cars, motorcycles, and other vintage-friendly rides that suit the spirit of the occasion. With the cruise happening first and the game following after, this is the kind of event that will probably appeal most to people who enjoy old cars in motion and like having a destination built into the day.
Some events are mostly about where you end up. This one seems more about how you get there. For anyone who likes classic vehicles, local cruising, and the idea of turning a Sunday into both a drive and a ballgame, Route 66 Sunday Rendezvous has a pretty easy charm to it.
