Do you have a flair for fashion? An affinity for the 60s? Like to dress up to a theme? FabFest Charlotte is your scene!

We're dressing up this FabFest and you can be as creative as you please!

Imagine Knight Theater filled on Friday night with 60s fashion, Beatles attire and even Beatles Ts! And Saturday full of families who found ways to play together by getting into some costume fun.

Dress to impress throughout the festival weekend in era threads, or as lookalikes of the Beatles themselves or other celebs from their world, or even as characters in the worlds the Beatles imagined in their lyrics, songs, movies and books.
