06/18/2016 Beatles 50 T.O. Downtown


City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1Yft8C5 Toronto changed dramatically in the post-war, baby-boom era. The vibrant music scene on Yonge Street and in Yorkville expressed the social, cultural and political upheaval that was in the air. Toronto was Canada's Beatlemania epicentre - the only city where the Beatles performed all three years. The Beatles played Toronto for the last time on August 17, 1966. Twelve days later they announced they would no longer tour together. To mark the 50th anniversary of the final Toronto concert we're collaborating with curators, collectors, musicians, community partners and sponsors to create '60s-themed events and an exhibit under the banner BEATLES 50 T.O.
