SEP 24-25 WINSLOW
12th Annual "Standin' On The Corner" Festival
"Take it easy" in Winslow!
Standin' on the Corner Park Festival, Sept. 24-25
“Take It Easy” became The Eagles first hit single in the 1970s, and it put Winslow on the
map. Visitors come from far and wide to relive the famous line: “I'm standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see. It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me.”
The corner - Historic Route 66 (Second Street) and Kinsley Avenue - features an incredible mural by John Pugh and life-size bronze sculpture by Ron Adamson depicting the story behind the song. Bring your camera and take YOUR photo on the corner!
Come anytime…Winslow has plenty of diversions to make for a great weekend getaway or even longer. Jet-skiing, train-spotting, searching out Route 66 memorabilia, touring the historic La Posada Hotel, and a chance to reflect upon the largest pieces of wreckage from the World Trade Center are just a few.
The best weekend to visit, however, for Eagles fans and party-lovers everywhere, is September 24-25 for the Standin' on the Corner Park Festival. People have come from as far away as Australia, Japan and even Greenland to rock it in Winslow!
The fun starts on Friday at 10 am with food, arts & crafts and many other vendors, a kids' play area, Beer Garden, and afternoon Talent Show. Bring the whole family for a great day out! Don't miss the evening concert, which features “Mogollon”, Arizona's best Country Rock band.
Other bands throughout the weekend include Mantis, Hotfoot, Tommy Dukes, Miss Tayva, Northern Latino Express, Sounds of Faith and many more.
Festivities continue on Saturday and include an auction at 11:30 am with lots of great items including a signed guitar by Hotel California and another one signed by Mogollon. “Hotel California, A Salute to the Eagles” headlines the Saturday night concert. Get ready to rock and roll! This will be a party to remember!
Winslow welcomes you to come explore all that we have to offer…and especially to party with us on Sept. 24-25 at the Standin' on the Corner Park Festival. Hope to see you there!
