No Souvenirs

Woodstock was big, but it’s hard to understand how the event didn’t have merchandise. An event of this magnitude missing out on the profits from t-shirts, hoodies or other fun memorabilia is a huge mistake. The only official souvenir of the festival was the 8-1/2 x 11 festival program, which went largely undistributed.
Security, stagehands, and other crew members who worked the event were issued t-shirts and windbreakers with the Woodstock logo. They have become the lasting, iconic souvenirs of the festival, including bootleg items sold by enterprising festival attendees.
