It’s hard to keep a secret in small town Arkansas and in 1964 word that the Beatles were landing at the airport in Walnut Ridge moved faster than an email. Teens flocked to the airport to get a glimpse of the Fab Four as they landed for a weekend stopover at a dude ranch in Missouri.

It’s celebrated with a music festival that draws thousands of visitors to the region to celebrate with food, fun and music, including the Liverpool Legends, a Beatles Cover band.
