Bigger Than They Thought

It was hard to come up with a venue that fitted the festival, and that could fit all expected guests. Initially, the plan was to hold it in the summer arts colony named Woodstock, a favorite of several musicians. The very first festival location was Wallkill, New York. When the locals discovered how big it would be, they voiced concerns. After that, they relocated the event to Bethel’s farmland. Even after the planning, they were not fully ready for the coming 400,000 attendees. They only knew 50,000 people! The festival surpassed expectations for both activity and guests. Governor Rockefeller considered sending aid to the National Guard for crowd management. Sullivan County even proclaimed an emergency!

No Place For Discrimination

At Woodstock, discrimination had no position. Anybody can come regardless of ethnicity, gender, or age. Parents brought their children. This little one started to look enthusiastic about being in it! How cute is this? Young kids not only attended the festival, but some kids were also born there and then.
