The year 2026 brings exciting celebrations to Miami, OK. Many activities for Route 66 Centennial and USA250 are planned throughout the year. Whether it's walking downtown looking in the shops, enjoying the murals painted by local artists or enjoying a cup of coffee — when you visit Miami, OK you experience it all.

Miami's downtown is one of the best-preserved Route 66 commercial districts in Oklahoma. The historic Coleman Theatre — a stunning Spanish Mission Revival building constructed in 1929 — anchors the downtown and continues to host performances and events that draw visitors from across the region.

The Coleman Theatre's interior is a masterpiece of decorative arts, featuring ornate plasterwork, gilded details, and a Wurlitzer pipe organ that still fills the hall with music. Free tours are available, and the theatre's events calendar is packed throughout the year.

Miami sits at the heart of Oklahoma's Route 66 corridor, and the city has embraced its Mother Road heritage with enthusiasm. The Route 66 Centennial in 2026 marks 100 years since the highway was officially commissioned, and Miami is planning a full calendar of events to celebrate this milestone.

Local artists have created a series of murals that tell the story of Route 66 and Miami's place in it, transforming the downtown into an outdoor gallery that celebrates the highway's cultural significance.

Miami is located in the heart of the Grand Lake O' the Cherokees region, one of Oklahoma's premier outdoor recreation destinations. The lake offers excellent fishing, boating, and water sports, while the surrounding Ozark foothills provide hiking and wildlife watching opportunities.
