What better way to celebrate the 100th birthday of Route 66 than a road trip to Radiator Springs? On Sunday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., your family is invited to join Lightning McQueen at the Edwardsville Children’s Museum’s third annual Ka-Chow! Cars Event. With free action-packed activities and high-octane fun, this is one event no young racing fan should miss!

In addition to free admission to the Museum and a photo shoot with Lightning McQueen, the Ka-Chow! Cars Event features special attractions for the whole family:

  • Buckle up for your own Piston Cup series on the kid-sized Route 66 Roadway
  • Visit the Kid Zone for Cars-themed activities, tire painting, face painting, and the “Life is a Highway” Dance Party
  • Stop at the replica repair shop inside the H&F Exterior Garage to learn the ins and outs of car care
  • Check out a real race car and meet the driver
  • Running out of steam? Fuel up at one of the on-site food vendors!

The Ka-Chow! Cars Event is free to families thanks to the support of its presenting sponsors, including the City of Edwardsville, H&F Exteriors, and Southern Illinois Pediatric Dentistry (SIPD).
