These Woodstock Festival attendees are packed together taking in the music and the experience together. The Woodstock Music & Art Air took place on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State from August 15 -18. It was attended by over 400,00 people with 32 acts performed outdoors. Widely considered as the most pivotal moment in popular music history, it has also paved the path for today’s’ counterculture, as much of it based off of the same ideals and a desire to replicate similar experiences. In 2017, the site of the original festival was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
