Sapulpa’s Route 66 Christmas Chute has announced it will not reopen for the 2025 season, opting to “push pause” in light of the City’s upcoming Dewey Street redesign. “In 2025, The City of Sapulpa is scheduled to begin a massive streetscape redesign in downtown,” the Chute committee said in a statement posted to its website and Facebook Page. “Years in the making, the new streetscape on Dewey Avenue will transform the pedestrian experience of downtown Sapulpa. With this undertaking, the Christmas Chute Committee has decided the best way forward is to take a pause in 2025.”
