Love-ins

A love-in was a peaceful social gathering, popular in the 1960s, where people came together to celebrate peace, music, and love. Participants often engaged in singing, dancing, and discussions promoting harmony and social change. These events served as a form of protest against war and injustice, emphasizing community and shared values. Love-ins were characterized by a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, often held in public parks or open spaces, reflecting the counterculture's ideals of nonviolence and unity. They played a significant role in the broader peace movement of that era, fostering a sense of solidarity among attendees.
