== History ==
The Fest for Beatles Fans began in 1974 after founder Mark Lapidos ran the idea by John Lennon during an encounter at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. Lapidos asked Lennon for permission, to which Lennon replied, "I’m all for it! I’m a Beatles fan too!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of The Fest )〕
The first Fest took place in September 1974 at the Commodore Hotel in New York City.〔 Over 8,000 Beatles fans attended. Each Beatle donated a musical instrument that was auctioned off for charity.〔 Lennon considered attending, but decided not to because he was nervous about the crowd. The event was recognized on the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine.
Since its inception in 1974, the Fest has taken place every year in the New York Metropolitan area. It has taken place in Chicago, Illinois, every year since 1977. The Fest has also taken place in Boston, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
