Bookroo's summary
In 1969, a quiet farm in New York becomes the epicenter of a cultural revolution as 400,000 music fans gather for Woodstock. Amidst the chaos and harmony, iconic performances by bands like The Grateful Dead create a lasting legacy of peace and love. For three days, the festival challenges societal norms and unites a generation under the banner of the hippie movement. What unfolds is more than music; it's a defining moment in history. Discover how a simple gathering became a symbol of change and freedom.
From the publisher
On August 15, 1969, a music festival called Woodstock transformed one small dairy farm in upstate New York into a gathering place for over 400,000 young music fans. Concert-goers, called hippies, traveled from all over the country to see their favorite musicians perform. Famous artists like The Grateful Dead played day and night in a celebration of peace, love, and happiness. Although Woodstock lasted only three days, the spirit of the festival has defined a generation and become a symbol of the hippie life. American Association of University Women Award for Juvenile Literature 2016 Nominee.
