WOODSTOCK OPENS ITS GATES FOREVER
On August 14, 1969, the final preparations were completed as Woodstock began welcoming hundreds of thousands to a dairy farm in Bethel, New York. What followed over four days became the defining moment of a generation — half a million people, 32 acts, and a cultural earthquake that still echoes.
"By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong."
— Joni Mitchell
