Woodstock


A village in New York state, where some 400,000 young people assembled in 1969 for a rock music festival.	1
‡ The size of the crowd and the prevalence of hippie dress and customs led to use of the term Woodstock nation to indicate the youth counterculture of the late 1960s.	2
‡ The term Woodstock is now used loosely to mean a large, impromptu gathering.	3
