Two Reasons to Travel – Two Beatle Festivals

December 12, 2017

There may never be another group like the Beatles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to adore them. Have you heard about a traveling Beatle festival called ‘The Beatles Fest for Fans’?

This Beatles love fest was created by super Beatles fan Mark Lapidos in 1974. At the time Mark was managing a record store, and wanted to do something to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the arrival of the Fab Four. He gave birth to a weekend convention in New York for other Beatle fans, and the love has grown.

‘The Beatles Fest for Fans’ is a weekend of Beatles trivia, music, storytelling and merchandising. There are two ‘The Beatles Fest for Fans’ weekends planned in 2018; the first in New York on March 9th, 10th and 11th held at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City on the Hudson. Scheduled to appear are Randy Bachman, Peter Asher, Billy J. Kramer, and the best Beatle tribute bands around.

The second Beatles event is scheduled for August 10th, 11th, and 12th in Chicago. That special guest lineup is still being assembled.
