Woodstock Festival 1969 Can a three day concert symbolize a generation? The Woodstock Festival of 1969 was the most intense peaceful gathering in Bethel, New York on Max Yasgur’s farm. This spontaneous event took place in Sullivan County on Friday afternoon August 15 to Monday August 18, 1969. The New York State Thruway was closed down. It was one of the nations worst traffic jams. Half of the crowd were hippies and they left their cars anywhere to walk …showed first 75 words of 939 total…

…showed last 75 words of 939 total…soon the concert was out of control. In conclusion, this was the greatest musical event of the millennium. Music has always been appreciated since. Woodstock has made a significant impact on our nation today. The reason why it made such an impression on our history is because of the love, money and music that brought the people of 1969 together. The friendly spirit of peace, love and of course rock ‘n’ roll music will forever prevail.
