53 years ago today, one of the most iconic and biggest events in music history took place: Woodstock! 😎⁠ •⁠ The festival was actually held on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York. 🐄 Taking place over 3 days, with 32 acts performing, the festival attracted an audience of over 400,000!⁠ •⁠ Did you know that it almost had to be shut down on the second day? 😬 With thousands of unexpected guests flooding in, Woodstock organizers had to abandon the idea of collecting money and tickets at the gates and instead just let everyone in for free. ⁠ •⁠ Woodstock is known for much more than the rock music that played: it became a symbol for an entire generation.⁠ •⁠ Would you have wanted to attend? 👀 Let us know in the comments! ⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #woodstock #woodstockanniversary #musicfestival #woodstockfestival
