For many years now Williams has been a summer destination for motorcyclists starting with the Arizona State HOG Rally and now with the Rumble on 66 Bike Rally. The cool elevation, picturesque scenery and rich Route 66 history reflected in our unique shops and restaurants draw bikers from all over the country to this small mountain community known as “The Best of Route 66”.

Every Friday & Saturday, 6:30 PM - Old West Gunfight and Cowboy Skit

Have you ever wondered what an average day in an Old West town looked like? Well stop by the Junction and experience the Old West right here in Williams.

Every Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM our band of Cowboys, Snake Oil Salesmen, Outlaws, Lawmen and trouble-makers put on an entertaining family show right here in the courtyard. Immediately following the show, the Junction's own 44 Rimfire Band entertain with a mix of classic country tunes by the likes of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Tennessee Ernie Ford along with some classic american rock and roll (think the Beatles mixed up with a Two Step!).

Cadillac Angels Live -Thursday, September 4 - 7 PM to 10 PM

Well, we've reached the end of summer and it sure was a good one. What better way to celebrate than to get the CADILLAC ANGELS in town and have a little party!

The Cadillac Angels have one tooled leather boot in the roots and rockabilly camp, and the other foot testing the surf. With numerous CD releases and close to a million miles of touring under their belts, the Cadillac Angels leave folks hummin' and shakin' along to their firebrand roots/rockabilly/surf hybrid for days after the band pulls outta town.

They have performed at such venues as L.A.'s House of Blues on Sunset Strip and the Blockbuster Pavillion, as well as Seattle's Bumbershoot.

The Cadillac Angels have shared the stage with such music legends as Dick Dale, Santana, Carl Perkins, The Violent Femmes, Etta James, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cowboy Mouth, Bo Diddley, Dwight Yoakam, Wanda Jackson and Link Wray.
