(Walnut Ridge, Ark.) - The Beatles electrified a small Arkansas town when they made a surprise visit in 1964. Now, they’re coming back!
Walnut Ridge, Ark., will unveil a life-sized sculpture of the Beatles on Sept. 18, culminating a festival and concert that will take place that day. The sculpture, which is an artist’s rendering of the Abbey Road album cover, will be on permanent display in downtown Walnut Ridge.
The unveiling coincides with the 47th anniversary of the Beatles’ visit to the town, located in northeast Arkansas.
