If Woodstock had to be described in one way – it would without a doubt be ‘free spirits. This picture captures everything that the festival was about, letting go, self-expression and discovery, coming together and overall just not caring about anything else other than the present moment.

young free spirits came together on August 15th, in the summer of ’69 for the most iconic music festival known to mankind. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York – and was three nonstop days filled with peace, love and music. Woodstock featured thirty two of American’s most beloved musicians, and today is remembered as far more than just a music festival. In fact, it’s a cultural landmark of the time, and here’s why..... Woodstock was not only a chance to hear some of history’s greatest music, but was also an opportunity for young, free spirited American’s to show off their unique styles and best looks, with colorful outfits with the most care-free vibes possible. This Woodstocker perfectly depicts the essence of the festival.

With thousands upon thousands of people coming at the same time to the small New York town, there were inevitable traffic jams. These people weren’t going to let anything stop them though. They were determined to make it to the festival no matter what, and many people actually just got out of their cars and walked. That was the Woodstock way.

Woodstock wasn’t just a memorable experience for young adults, but also for their children. Many parents actually brought their children with them to the peace, love and music festival, feeling as though it was no big deal. Nowadays most people would probably just get a babysitter for such a festival, but this little girl surely grew up with no shortage of wild stories to share.

These Woodstockers were ready to dance the night away, with no worries, no stress, and as though there was no tomorrow. Their open minded attitude and good vibes can be seen in this iconic shot that perfectly captures the essence of the peace, love and music festival.

Well, as Jack Johnson once said, it’s always better when we’re together. That couldn’t be more true, especially when it comes to the Woodstock festival. There’s better than keeping each other warm under a fuzzy blanket while enjoying the music and inhaling the good vibes all around.

The moments experienced at Woodstock are still remembered by many today, decades later. The summer of ’69 was one that will never be forgotten and will always live on as a legend. This Woodstocker depicts the essence of the powerful emotion of the festival.

The summer of ’69 was without a doubt the time to be alive. It was the time of their lives for those that were fortunate enough to attend the iconic festival, and we can all only attempt to live vicariously through these pictures and feel the pure joy that was running through their veins.

Although surrounded by 50,000 people at Woodstock, people truly danced like no one is watching, as though they were alone in their bedrooms with their favorite tunes blasted, singing a long with a hairbrush microphone.
