The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was an event held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 kmÂ²) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Many of the best-known musicians of the time appeared during the rainy weekend, captured in a successful 1970 movie, Woodstock.
Officially billed as The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, An Aquarian Exposition, the festival that came to be known, simply, as Woodstock is the stuff of legend. Friday marks the 45th anniversary of Woodstock, which took place from August 15-18, 1969. Woodstock didn't take place in Woodstock, New York, but in Bethel, about 60 miles away. It was really called Woodstock because (festival co-creator) Mike Lang thought it had the right vibe, Bob Spitz, journalist and author of Barefoot in Babylon: The Creation of the Woodstock Music Festival, 1969 told CNN.
