Join us for an evening of music, trivia, and costume contests as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival which began on August 15, 1969, as half a million people waited on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, for the three-day music festival billed as “An Aquarian Experience: 3 Days of Peace and Music!. The epic event would later be known simply as Woodstock and become synonymous with the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Over the rainy weekend, thirty-two acts, which included Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, the Who, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Joe Crocker, the Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, and Country Joe and the Fish, to name a few, performed outdoors. The festival is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history and was captured in this Academy Award-winning 1970 documentary movie ”Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music. Show time May 11 , @ 7 pm . Tickets $10.
