This August marks the 46th anniversary of the famed Woodstock Music and Art Festival, which took place on Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in Bethel, New York.

What Was Woodstock?

The Woodstock Festival was a three-day concert (which rolled into a fourth day) that involved lots of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll – plus a lot of mud. The Woodstock Music Festival of 1969 has become an icon of the 1960s hippie counterculture.
Dates: August 15-18, 1969
Location: Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in the town of Bethel (outside of White Lake, New York)
Also Known As: Woodstock Music Festival; An Aquarian Exposition: Three Days of Peace and Music
