John Lennon 70th Birthday Public Celebration

Celebrate the life and music of the late legendary singer, songwriter, peace activist and Beatles member. Event highlights will include a cake-cutting ceremony led by Chris Carter, host of the longest-running Beatles radio show, "Breakfast With the Beatles". Also, Lennon and Beatles fans will be invited to inscribe messages on a 100-foot-long birthday message scroll, which will be sent to Yoko Ono. Live and recorded Lennon and Beatles songs will be played throughout the afternoon celebration. And, of course, Lennon's star will be appropriately decorated with flowers and candles as well as Lennon and Beatles memorabilia.

Meet at Lennon's star, which is located at 1750 N. Vine St., in front of the Capitol Records Building.
