Aquarian Exposition

The Aquarian Exposition, commonly known as the Woodstock Festival, took place in August 1969 in Bethel, New York. It was a pivotal music festival that celebrated peace, love, and counterculture during a time of social upheaval in the United States. Attracting around 400,000 attendees, it featured iconic performances by artists like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. The event embodied the spirit of the 1960s, promoting ideals of harmony and community amidst the Vietnam War and civil rights movements. Woodstock has since become a symbol of the era's cultural revolution and the power of music as a unifying force.
