Celebrate love, life and Lennon!

A unique New York City tradition since 1981, the Annual John Lennon Tribute charity concert celebrates John Lennon’s life, music and timeless message of peace, love, and racial/gender equality. 

For guaranteed pre-sale access to this year’s Tribute on November 21, become a member of Friends of the Annual John Lennon Tribute. 

All proceeds benefit Theatre Within, the non-profit behind the John Lennon Real Love Project, a free songwriting workshop for communities in need.  

In 2026, for the seventh consecutive year, Theatre Within is providing over 200 free workshops in the creative arts and mindfulness for families impacted by cancer and students in public elementary schools.
