Abbey Road on the River – Washington DC

Abbey Road on the River is a five day Beatles Tribute Festival which is coming to the Washington DC area for the first time this summer. More than 50 bands from around the world and scores of Beatles fans will come together at the Gaylord National Resort at National Harbor to experience five days of peace, love, and rock-n-roll. Abbey Road on the River started in Cleveland, Ohio in 2002, relocated to Louisville, Kentucky in 2005 and has expanded to become the largest Beatles music-fest in the world. The Washington DC Beatles Tribute Festival will include two indoor stages, four outdoor stages, seminar gatherings, and a Fab Four merchandise marketplace.

The venue for the inaugural event in the Washington DC capital region will be the Gaylord National Resort, well known for its luxurious accommodations and popular restaurants, but also for its soaring glass-enclosed atrium, expansive grounds, and camera-ready views of the Potomac River and Capital skyline.

•Original Beatles Drummer Pete Best will reveal to festival attendees stories about his time with the band, including many never-before-heard details.
•a presentation from Gretsch Guitar owner Fred Gretsch, III
•illustrations from famed Beatles cartoon animator Ron Campbell
