Join us in Prairietown for the annual All day Beatles Festival!
When I’m 64 is a full day of live music that started as a passion project for Beatles fans and has grown into one of the area’s most unique summer traditions, featuring a lineup of live bands, local vendors, kids activities, and a relaxed, byoc (bring your own chair!) atmosphere.
Each year, proceeds from this all-day concert are reinvested into the community, helping support and strengthen local businesses. We’re thrilled to announce that the Macoupin Art Collective is the 2026 beneficiary! Funds will help grow our art programs, bring the ArtBus to more communities, and further our mission of making art accessible to all. Come for the tunes, stay for the impact!
dance, sing, and help bring art to the community!

Help us bring creativity to the crowd by assisting with hands-on art activities, event set up and breakdown, accepting donations, welcoming festival-goers, and keeping the good vibes flowing all day long.
