EnglishSummary:
Woodstock was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 40 miles (65 km) southwest of Woodstock. Billed as "an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" and alternatively referred to as the Woodstock Rock Festival, it attracted an audience of more than 400,000.Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite sporadic rain.
The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history as well as a defining event for the counterculture generation. The event's significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film; an accompanying soundtrack album; and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Music events bearing the Woodstock name have been planned for anniversaries including the tenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. In 2017, the festival site became listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A Woodstocki Zenei és Művészeti Vásár, másképpen Woodstocki Fesztivál, vagy ahogy hirdették: Egy „Vízöntő korszakbeli Előadás: 3 nap béke és zene” nemzetközi, ingyenes fesztivál volt.
A legendás fesztivált White Lake-ben (Bethel, Sullivan megye, New York, Amerikai Egyesült Államok) tartották egy bizonyos Max Yasgur 600 holdas (~2,4 négyzetkilométer ~240 hektár) farmján 1969. augusztus 15-18. között. Azért Bethelben volt a fesztivál, mert Wallkill városa visszavonta a rendezés jogát. Az esős hétvégén, a szabad ég alatt harminckét előadó és zenekar lépett fel mintegy 500 000 néző előtt. A hatalmas tömeg kétségbe ejtette a hatóságokat, az eredetileg kivezényelt 800 rendőr mellé is erősítést küldtek, de nem volt rá szükség, mert semmilyen botrány vagy rendzavarás nem történt, ami annak is köszönhető, hogy a kábítószer-árusítást is engedélyezték.
