It’s not Abbey Road, but it sure will be the closest thing in Lake County.  This Friday, September 20, downtown Tavares Square will play host to The British Invasion, a free Beatles tribute concert, plus art, food, classic cars, a juggler, interactive stilt walker, karaoke and dancing. 

The British Invasion has completed the longest running Beatles show on record after performing at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center for 14 years with more shows in a month than most Beatles tributes perform in an entire year, according to the City of Tavares press release.  

The family-friendly event will also have the City’s Rec Rover (a mobile recreation center), the Library Book Bike and a selfie station, plus local artists will paint and sell their creations.

Local restaurants will vend Strawberry Fields Forever Margaritas, Yellow Submarine Subs, Lettuce Be Salads, and Sgt. Pepperoni Pizza!  Classic car enthusiasts will be able to leisurely browse the gathering of autos, and guests can try their chops at Beatles karaoke. 

The free concert and festivities will take place downtown at Tavares Square located at the intersection of Main Street and Rockingham Avenue from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
