Woodstock Music Festival

The Woodstock Music Festival, held in August 1969 in Bethel, New York, was an iconic gathering that attracted around 400,000 people to promote peace, love, and music during a turbulent era. It featured performances by legendary artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Who, showcasing genres such as rock, folk, and blues.

Despite logistical challenges, Woodstock's successful, peaceful organization made it a defining moment in music history and a cultural milestone of the 1960s.
