Happy Global Beatles Day!! – June 25th (To commemorate today, share your favorite Beatles photos, or video links, for everyone to enjoy) Global Beatles Day (also known as World Beatles Day) is an annual holiday held on 25 June each year to commemorate the legacy and cultural impact of the English rock band the Beatles. The date, 25 June, was chosen 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 Faith Cohen, who called it “a thank you or love letter” to the band. Global Beatles Day was established in 2009 by Faith Cohen, an American fan from Indianapolis, as a grassroots initiative through social media. The date was selected to mark the anniversary of the Beatles’ 1967 performance of “All You Need Is Love”, which was broadcast live via satellite as part of the BBC’s Our World program. The performance reached an estimated 400 million viewers in over 20 countries and is regarded as a defining moment of the 1960s counterculture. According to Cohen, the day was not conceived for commercial purposes, but rather to serve as “a thank you or love letter” to the Beatles. The observance is intended to honor both the artistic achievements and cultural impact of the Beatles, particularly their messages of peace, love, and global unity. Global Beatles Day promotes these values by encouraging fans to reflect on the band’s influence and share their appreciation through music, conversation, and community engagement. There is no official or standardised way to observe Global Beatles Day. Common forms of celebration include listening to or performing Beatles songs, watching related films or documentaries, and sharing content on social media. Fans are often encouraged to circulate videos of the Beatles’ performances—especially their “All You Need Is Love” broadcast—on the anniversary date. Some also use the day to host gatherings or educational events focused on the band’s music and cultural influence.
