City: Winslow, AZ -- The song "Take It Easy", written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne, became The Eagles first hit single in the 1970's, and put Winslow on the map. The verse "Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona," draws visitors from far and wide to stand on the famous corner on Historic Route 66. This year the Standin' on the Corner Festival will be located on Kinsley & Second St.


The park, located at the corner of Historic Route 66 (Second Street) and Kinsley Avenue in downtown Winslow, Arizona that featured an incredible mural by artist John Pugh and life-size bronze sculpture by Artist Ron Adamson depicting the story behind the song is partially open to visitors during this year's event. Damage done by a fire on October 18, 2004 keeps much of the park area unavailable. See recent park photos here.
