The Beatles are probably the most popular band in music history. Beatles Day celebrates The Beatles' triumphant return to their hometown, Liverpool, on 10 July 1964 from their first tour to the USA. It was also just in time for the premiere of their first movie, "A Hard Day's Night". This day is considered one of the landmarks in their rise to fame. Since 2008, its anniversary has been celebrated as Beatles Day in both Liverpool and Hamburg, the cities where the Fab Four started on the road to stardom. There are other "Beatles Day" holidays. In the USA, it is on February the 27th to mark the beauty and peacefulness of the Beatles' music in time for spring. UNESCO declared January 16 as The Beatles Day in 2001.

披头士或许是音乐史上最享誉世界的乐队。1964年7月10日,披头士结束首次美国巡演后回到家乡利物浦。他们的首部电影《一夜狂欢》公映。对于披头士而言,这一天是具有里程碑意义的一天。自2008年起,人们在利物浦和汉堡庆祝披头士日,这两座城市也是四人组成名的地方。人们还设立了许多其它披头士节日。每年的2月27日,恰逢春天到来之际,美国民众庆祝披头士音乐,那美妙安宁的音乐扣人心脾。2001年,联合国教科文组织将1月16日定为披头士日。

The official Beatles Day website says: "Beatles Day is an opportunity for the community of Liverpool to get together and celebrate the musical legacy of The Beatles, with a variety of artists from different styles performing throughout the day. It is also a chance to help raise money for the Beatles Day Foundation, which contributes money to various Liverpool charities." Bands from around the world gather in Liverpool and play Beatles music. People wear Beatles wigs or take photos of themselves to copy the album covers from the band. It is a festive occasion on which the organisers hope to have fun, bring back the spirit of Beatlemania, and raise money for charity.

披头士日官网上表示:“利物浦社区会欢聚在一起,庆祝披头士留给我们的音乐遗产,不同风格艺术家们会在当天进行演唱。同时也会为披头士日基金会筹款,之后将善款捐赠给利物浦慈善组织。”全球各大乐队欢聚利物浦,演唱披头士音乐。人们穿戴披头士假发,照自拍像效仿专辑封面。在这样一个欢聚的时刻,主办方希望它乐趣无穷,重温Beatlemania精神,更为慈善组织捐款。
