Along the way are art galleries, antique shops, resale shops, orchards, farms, and farmers markets, lodging establishments, restaurants, parks, and more. Nearly 200 businesses and scenic opportunities are included on The Breezeway. The cheery Breezeway logo appears at mile markers along the route.
Bumper stickers appear on cars, trucks, and RVs that drive The Breezeway. The drive is so popular that business has grown for businesses along the route. Summer festivals and special events along The Breezeway such as a Cruise celebrate everything from art to harvest. One highlight of the summer season for many is a Breezeway garage sale.
