Woodstock Festival, 15.-18. August 1969

Posted by Embla on

Woodstock, was a music festival held during August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 40 miles (65 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock. Billed as “an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music” and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted more than 400,000 attendees.

Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite overcast and sporadic rain. It was one of the largest music festivals in history, and became synonymous with the counterculture of the 1960s. The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history as well as a defining event for the silent and baby boomer generations.
