Again in 2023, the Rockin’ the Route 66 concert and street party will feature Emerald City Band. If you were there for last year's high-intensity, crowd-pleasing, interactive performance, you know it was worth the trip! Bring someone new with you when you return for this year's concert. The more, the merrier!

Before Emerald City takes the stage, be there at 6:00 p.m. to experience Fire for Effect - 135th Army Band of the MO National Guard.
