JEFFERSONVILLE — The Abbey Road on the River music festival isn’t taking place until Labor Day, but over the past weekend a new event brought thousands to downtown Jeffersonville to enjoy the music of The Beatles.

Organizers of Abbey Road on the River introduced Penny Lane at the Park, a smaller version of the Beatles-inspired music festival, on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend at Big Four Station Park. Two free preview concerts also took place Friday evening.

Event producer Gary Jacob said Penny Lane at the Park was a “brilliant, beautiful event,” and it was a successful “warmup” to the upcoming Abbey Road on the River festival.

Abbey Road typically takes place Memorial Day weekend. It was canceled last year due to the pandemic, and this year, organizers moved it to Labor Day weekend.

“We are coming out of a long shutdown, and it had been two years since we had done a festival,” Jacob said.

About 5,000 people came out for the two-day music festival, and Friday’s preview events brought in 500 people, according to Jacob.
