Global Beatles Day

Global Beatles Day (also known as World Beatles Day) is a completely unofficial event arbitrarily occurring 25 June each year, purporting to honour and celebrate the ideals of the Beatles. The date, 25 June, was chosen by certain Beatle fans in some areas of the world to commemorate the date that the Beatles participated in the BBC show Our World in 1967, performing "All You Need Is Love" broadcast to an international audience. The holiday was created and first celebrated in 2009 by North American Beatles fan Faith Cohen, who calls it "a thank you or love letter to The Beatles."

There is absolutely no official basis to this 'Global Beatles Day', it's a minority fan-based concept without any acknowledgement from Apple or any of the living Beatles or Beatle families. It has particularly low interest in The United Kingdom, The Beatles' home country. However, to those who mark the occasion, the event is celebrated with music and a variety of events celebrating peace and harmony. Cuba used the occasion to put on a Beatles film festival in 2018. Online celebrations have included an Amazon tie-in, a joint live concert on Bigo Live, creations and collections of Beatles-themed comic strips, and use of the social media hashtag #GlobalBeatlesDay.
