Global Beatles Day: A Celebration of the Fab Four 🎸🌍
Every year on June 25th, fans around the world celebrate Global Beatles Day, a special tribute to the legendary band that changed music forever. But why June 25th?

Let’s take a look at why The Beatles are still the most beloved band in the world and how you can celebrate Global Beatles Day! 🎶
🌍 A Day to Celebrate The Beatles’ Legacy
Global Beatles Day was created in 2009 by a dedicated fan, Faith Cohen, as a way to honor the band’s message of peace, love, and music. The date—June 25th—was chosen because of The Beatles’ groundbreaking appearance on the BBC’s “Our World” program in 1967.
“Our World” was the first-ever live international satellite broadcast, reaching over 400 million people in 25 countries. The Beatles performed “All You Need Is Love”, a song that became an anthem of hope and unity.
💡 Fun Fact: The Beatles were asked to write a song with a universal message, and John Lennon came up with “All You Need Is Love” in just a few days!
