Woodstock Festival (1969)
Three days of peace, music, and mud/Events & Phenomena
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair took place from August 15-18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York. About 400,000 people attended, far exceeding the expected 50,000. The festival covered about 240 hectares. It rained heavily, turning the grounds into a mud pit. Jimi Hendrix's closing performance of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' became one of the defining moments of the 1960s.
