New Mexico will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of Route 66 in 2026 and will be participating in both national and statewide initiatives to celebrate the country’s “Mother Road.” Route 66 played a significant role in shaping the history and identity of numerous communities in the United States and in New Mexico. The Centennial Anniversary of Route 66 presents a unique occasion to recognize and honor the contributions of New Mexico’s diverse communities, businesses, and individuals along the historic route. In preparation for the Centennial, the New Mexico Tourism Department (NMTD) established a Route 66 Centennial grant program to allocate funding to support this initiative statewide. The Route 66 Centennial grant program aims to provide communities along historic Route 66 support for programs related to consumer experiences, events, destination enhancements, marketing and promotions. An overarching goal is to ensure that New Mexico Route 66 projects dovetail effectively with the National Route 66 Commission to provide consistency with national goals while still tailoring efforts to local communities. Below is a list provided by the New Mexico Tourism Department showing the 2024 grant program applicants and awardees. All recipients for the Route 66 Grant Program have been announced.
