The Scene

An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music - the legendary Woodstock Festival was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm in 1969. Many festivals have built their blueprint on this American original, which in the past fifty years has reached an almost mythical status among festies from around the world.
