GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Beatles fans gathered at Rock N Roll Land on Military Avenue today to record a special “Peace & Love” birthday greeting for Ringo Starr, who turned 85.
The celebration was part of the former Beatles drummer’s global birthday campaign, encouraging fans around the world to think, say, or share “Peace & Love” at noon local time.
Green Bay joined dozens of other cities taking part in the annual event, now in its 17th year.

About 30 minutes before noon, fans dressed in Beatles-themed attire arrived at Rock N Roll Land, which opened exclusively for the event.
They held signs, shared smiles, and recorded a video message that will be shared on Ringo Starr’s official Facebook page alongside videos from around the world.
This marked the second year Green Bay participated in the feel-good tradition. Last year’s recording took place outside Lambeau Field.
