Woodstock was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York,[2][3] 40 miles (65 km) southwest of Woodstock. Billed as "an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted an audience of more than 400,000.[2][4][5][6] Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite sporadic rain.[7]
The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history as well as a defining event for the counterculture generation.[8][9] The event's significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film,[10] an accompanying soundtrack album, and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Music events bearing the Woodstock name have been planned for anniversaries including the tenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth. In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.[11] In 2017 the festival site became listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[12]
