The festival took place in Louisville, Kentucky over Memorial Day weekend but moved across the river to Jeffersonville, Indiana starting in 2017. Tribute bands, as well as internationally recognized bands, perform over the course of the festival, playing the music of The Beatles, as well as the music of other artists. Abbey Road on the River is a four-time winner of the Kentucky Travel Industry Association's Top 10 Spring Festivals.[1][2] HistoryAbbey Road on the River was founded and is produced by Cleveland, Ohio resident Gary Jacob, who has produced the show since its inception.[3][4][5] Abbey Road on the River began with three events in Cleveland in 2002, 2003 and 2004.[4] Following the 2004 event, Abbey Road on the River moved its main location to Louisville[4] where it continues to be held annually over Memorial Day weekend. Staging for the event takes place primarily on the city's Belvedere, within and around the Muhammad Ali Center and within the event's host hotel.[6] In 2017 it was moved across the river to Jeffersonville, Indiana. Event activities and attendeesThe types of tribute bands that perform at Abbey Road on the River vary greatly. Some bands look, sound and act like The Beatles, while others simply play Beatles' music or the solo music of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.[6] The festival also features other Beatles-related activities, ranging from speakers, discussion panels, and film screenings, to the annual parade complete with costumes and yellow submarine, as well as Beatles merchandise for sale, along with food and drink options on the Belvedere grounds.[5] Speakers, musicians and guestsAmong the speakers and noted guests over the years:

Music{{unreferenced section|date=May 2017}}Since its beginnings as a small tribute festival, Abbey Road on the River has evolved into mixed genre and mixed media event, with some concerts targeting full albums of The Beatles and various artists such as The Who, to entire concerts devoted to the music of artists of the era, such as Bruce Springsteen. In recent years, other top bands of the era have joined Abbey Road and have performed their own music. These include Jefferson Starship, Peter Noone & Hermans Hermits, Leon Russell, The Beach Boys, Ambrosia, ELO's The Orchestra, with Felix Cavaliere's Rascals and The Zombies joining in 2016. See also
