Woodstock 50 was a planned American music festival that was scheduled to be held on 16 – 18 of August 2019. This event was planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The feat was canceled due to the relocation of venue and some other issues. Later on, it was decided that the number of days should be reduced. The celebration was prior to 3 days but was later reduced to 1 day.
Woodstock co-creator Michael Lang said that he would be organizing the event. Every artist got advanced payment. Around half a million people came together to celebrate it. Josef Ferri says, that whenever he visits Bethel Wood Centre, wood stock memories flashback.
Baby boomers chasing a memory of peace and love reminded everyone 1960s counterculture.
This weekend is the 50th anniversary. The whole area has been noticed for its beauty. Anybody who has visited that place has a common view. The area is beautiful, and so are the people living there. They offer such hospitality that it becomes harder for anyone to leave that area.
- Long-time back it used to be free. Now they charge for entry. The number of visitors has reduced; still, there are many. People were excited from last year to celebrate the golden jubilee of the fest. It was one of the world’s most famous and awaited fest. Woodstock’s venue was provided by Max Yasgur, who leased 600 acres of his dairy farm. It is quite rare to see, so many people at once taking part in an event.
Undoubtedly, people were excited, quite a lot. Organizers were expecting a crowd of around 1 lakh people, which shot up to around four lakhs people. Woodstock became a free event. The crowd was such that people were airlifted. They could not go in or out due to lack of space. Woodstock has been loved by all and always what made it more interesting was the amazing response it received from people.
