History

Historical Context

Organized by Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, Joel Rosenman and John Roberts, Woodstock ran August 15-18 1969 on Max Yasgur’s Bethel farm, drawing more than 460,000 people despite an $18 advance ticket price and an expected 50,000 crowd. The free-concert model reshaped large-scale outdoor festivals and led to the Bethel Woods Center, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
