National Road Trip Day

— days to go
National Road Trip Day encourages people to hit the open road, explore new places, and enjoy the classic American (or global) tradition of the road trip with friends or family.
History
The road trip as we know it grew with the automobile and the interstate highway system in the 20th century. It represents freedom, adventure, discovery, and the joy of the journey as much as the destination.
How It's Celebrated
Plan a day trip or longer adventure, pack the car with snacks and good playlists or podcasts, take the scenic route, stop at roadside attractions, and make memories. Practice safe driving and leave no trace.
