Apple held a spontaneous 50th anniversary celebration at the Grand Central store with the participation of famous artist Alicia Keys. This was the first of many events that will take place worldwide, and Apple Grand Central marked the beginning of these celebrations! I had the honor of attending the performance, and I will share all my photos here.

First of all, I must say that this was one of the coolest events I have been invited to. The performance was truly amazing, but the spontaneous nature of everything made this moment quite appealing. Until yesterday, we knew nothing about this event until Parker Ortolani announced on Twitter that the store would be closed for an event.

Along with Apple CEO Tim Cook, hardware senior vice president John Ternus, marketing senior vice president Greg Joswiak, and retail senior vice president Deirdre O’Brien were also present at the event.

As a result, this is a great idea to celebrate Apple’s 50th anniversary, and I can’t wait to see the upcoming events! Below you can find some of my photos, and you can also check out some videos on 9to5Mac's Twitter account.
