Massive Crowds Gather for the Famous Woodstock Festival in 1969
The Woodstock Music & Arts Fair (informally referred to simply as Woodstock) was a historic hippie festival that took place in 1969. It has since gone down as perhaps the most iconic music festival in history. An enduring image of the ‘flower power’ movement, the festival attracted an audience of more than 400,000 people.
Scheduled for August 15–17 on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State, such were the revelries, it ran over to Monday, August 18. Numerous movies, novels, and stories were written about this legendary festival. Do you know anyone who was there?
