This year, the Petersen Automotive Museum will even be part of the festivities.“We are proud to announce a partnership with Petersen Automotive Museum and thrilled they can be part of our Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion,” said Michael Krouse, president and CEO of Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Our goal has always been to provide a safe, family friendly, classic car show where visitors look forward to an annual trip to historic downtown Ontario, California. A relationship with Petersen Automotive Museum with their educational platform is a perfect fit for our event.”

This annual event, held on the third weekend in September, was canceled in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. “Route 66 Cruisin’ Reunion is our signature event to bring visitors to our area. We know our local community and visitors who could not attend in 2020 is anxious to be a part of this years’ event.  We will have some new policies to ensure we are creating a safe environment for everyone.” Said Michael Krouse, President and CEO of Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau.

“Nearly 1,000 classic cars, live concerts, and family activities draw a crowd of more than 150,000 attendees annually.” Historic downtown Euclid Avenue in Ontario provides a tree-lined grass median where family and friends gather to enjoy the festivities. Unique to many classic car shows is the cruising on city streets as well as the show and shine.
