I ❤️ Pluto Festival 2026: Beer Unveiling and Astronomy on Tap

Cultural Icons: Pluto, Route 66, and How They Connect Us

Join us at Mother Road Brewing for the unveiling of this year’s Pluto-themed beer plus a special edition of Astronomy on Tap.

While Route 66 famously stretches from Chicago to LA, there’s a place a little ways off the map that also has a huge connection to Route 66: Pluto, the icy body at the edge of our solar system. Take a trip through time and space to discover how this historic stretch of highway parallels a hotly-debated world four billion miles away, and why Route 66 and Pluto will have an impact on us for many years to come.

Part of I ❤️ Pluto Festival 2026 , an event celebrating the 96th anniversary of Pluto’s discovery on February 18, 1930. It is organized by Lowell Observatory.
