This fall, Montana Avenue becomes part of history.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, the Montana Avenue Art Walk returns for an extraordinary celebration marking 100 years of Route 66. As one of the City of Santa Monica’s official Route 66 Centennial celebrations, the event will transform 10 blocks of Montana Avenue, from 7th to 17th Street, into an immersive open-air celebration of art, music, culture, wellness, food, shopping, and community.

More than 10,000 attendees are expected to experience a reimagined Montana Avenue filled with fine art and live installations, performances, curated artisan vendors, wellness experiences, culinary offerings, interactive brand activations, family programming, and the renowned boutiques and businesses that define the neighborhood.

Ten blocks. One iconic avenue. 100 years of Route 66.
