Over the labor day weekend, more then 50 bands came to the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at National Harbor to play at the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival. <br /><br />The festival had its start in 2002 in Cleveland, Ohio, then moved to Louisville, Ky., in 2005. This year marks the first year for the festival in Washington D.C. <br /><br />Produced, shot and edited by Hillary Esquina <br /><br />The festival hosts many different types of tribute bands; some bands look, sound, and act like the Beatles. Other bands play Beatles music accurately, but do not dress or act as Beatles. Some bands celebrate the music of Lennon & McCartney and George Harrison without trying to reproduce the Beatles' sound. On site was a large collection of Beatles' memorabilia from various vendors and collectors, including a Beatles inspired Harley Davidson. <br /><br />TBD Segment Producer Hillary Esquina talked to three local bands who played at the festival, and brings us a look into Abbey Road On The River.
