About Woodstock 1969
On August 15, 1969, the gates of Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York opened for what became one of the defining moments in music history, Woodstock. An estimated 400,000 people arrived over four days, drawn by the promise of peace, music, and a spirit of togetherness that felt electric in the summer air. From Janis Joplin's raw blues to Jimi Hendrix's incandescent guitar, the sounds that rose from that muddy hillside have never really faded.
