Along with showcasing all of these wonderful performances, the theater also offers volunteer and internship opportunities.
Rendezvous Back to Route 66
This annual October event is a favorite of all the locals. You can expect to see over 1,000 custom vintage vehicles rolling down the streets, revving their engines and showing off all of the hard work the owners have put into restoring them. There will be great music, delicious food and beverages, and fun for the whole family. It’s a great way to get out and spend quality time with other Inland residents.
