The Clinton Route 66 Festival is a local favorite, as it's predecessor the Clinton Hot Dog Daze dates back over three decades. Back in 2007, Clinton was the host of the National Route 66 Festival and at that time combined the famous Hot Dog Daze and the local car show to boast an even bigger event as the national Route 66 Festival came through town, add in a wiener dog race and there you have a fun filled day.
