Officially billed as The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, An Aquarian Exposition, the festival that came to be known, simply, as Woodstock is the stuff of legend. Friday marks the 45th anniversary of Woodstock, which took place from August 15-18, 1969. Woodstock didn't take place in Woodstock, New York, but in Bethel, about 60 miles away. It was really called Woodstock because (festival co-creator) Mike Lang thought it had the right vibe, Bob Spitz, journalist and author of Barefoot in Babylon: The Creation of the Woodstock Music Festival, 1969 told CNN.
In 2008, an interactive museum commemorating Woodstock and the Baby Boomer generation opened at Bethel Woods. On July 1, 2006, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts opened on the site of the original Woodstock Festival and hosted the New York Philharmonic. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young closed out the inaugural season in August 2006, bringing the foursome back to Bethel for the first time since August 1969.
