Edmond residents, get ready to plan your 2026 in style with a bit of local history gracing your walls. The City of Edmond has announced the availability of its 2026 calendars, which this year feature a nostalgic nod to the city's connection to the iconic Route 66. Eager locals can snag a free copy at the Luminance Kickoff Event tomorrow, with the calendars becoming widely available at city offices and the Edmond Public Library starting Monday, November 24.
But wait, there's more than just pictures of yesteryear. The calendar comes with a host of practical information crucial for city residents – trash collection dates, holiday office hours, City Council, and Planning Commission meeting dates are all neatly annotated. The collaborative effort involving Visit Edmond and the Edmond History Museum not only ensures residents are well-informed but also preps them for the centennial celebrations set for the following year, according to the city's announcement.
The release of these calendars dovetails with the larger centennial festivities on the horizon, which promise to bring the already tight-knit Edmond community even closer. As they say, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it – but in this case, a little repetition in the form of annual commemoration might just be what binds the fabric of this community tighter around its illustrious past.
Quantities of this functional keepsake are limited, so history buffs and organization enthusiasts alike will want to act fast. Those unable to attend the Luminance event needn't worry; the calendars will be up for grabs throughout the city come Monday, November 24. Whether you're a resident keen to keep a pulse on city happenings or simply partial to the aesthetic of bygone eras lining your kitchen wall, according to the City of Edmond's website.
