The Ventura Music Festival kicks off its 30th season with a spectacular fundraiser event on Saturday, March 22 at Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach. The evening features Bob Eubanks’ Beatles tribute show, the unveiling of the 2025 festival lineup, an award ceremony, and a VIP gala fundraiser.
Famed host of The Newlywed Game, Bob Eubanks is the only person alive to have produced The Beatles’ concerts during their U.S. tours. His show, Backstage with the Beatles, thrills audiences with untold stories, rare photos, and live performances of iconic hits from live cover band Ticket To Ride.
He shares fascinating and hilarious never-heard-before stories about his experiences with the Beatles, their manager Brian Epstein, and the screaming throngs of fans who attended the concerts. He has put together an entertaining one-of-a-kind show that will appeal to all audiences.
Enjoy an evening of fine dining and fun in the Top of the Harbor ballroom with cocktails and stunning seaside views while Bob’s legacy is honored in a special award ceremony. The celebration continues in the San Miguel banquet room with a Gala Banquet.
The evening also includes a multimedia reveal of the Festival’s 2025 lineup, a Wheel of Fortune raffle, and a paddle auction. Also hear from Ivor Davis, author of the widely acclaimed book, The Beatles and Me on Tour, his personal account of the 1964 Beatles’ North American tour.
