Woodstock+(EW)

__Woodstock__
The Woodstock festival happened in 1969 at a six-hundred acre park near White Lake, New York. The festival lasted three days from August 15 to August 18 where 32 acts including Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and Santana played live in front of more than 500,000 people. Hippies in particular flocked in the thousands to see this epitome of rock n roll for themselves. Those that came belonged to communes that camped out in areas near the festival such as the town of Woodstock, almost 20 miles away from the festival. The festival itself was free to all people, and that doesn't mean everyone could come- no- the festival was free. You didn't need any money, you didn't need to have an invitation, and you didn't need to be acquaintances with anyone to attend; the only thing you needed was a means to get there. Many claim that this event was one of the greatest moments of popular music due to its significance to the rock n roll genre.
