Every year, in early September, the Berwyn Preservation of Historic Route 66 Committee of the BDC hosts the Historic Route 66 Car Show, which is held on Ogden Avenue in Berwyn. Berwyn has always been a great Route 66 town with a thriving, dynamic and fast-growing community at its heart. The Route 66 Car Show proves very successful with an estimated crowd of approximately 10,000 residents and visitors each year. All classic car fans are welcome to the show and can rediscover the great automotive heritage of Berwyn’s Historic Route 66. Chosen as one of Chicago Magazine's 5 Best Things to Do in September 2011! 23nd Annual Berwyn Historic Route 66 Car Show Location:
