Spirit of Woodstock Festival celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock Music Festival in Brooksville, Florida

Get your hippie groove on and enjoy peace, love and music each day. Allow nature to soothe your soul with a positive, uplifting experience with like-minded music fans.   Gather your tribe together and make your plans now to attend!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic music festival, Woodstock, which was held on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains on August 15–18, 1969. Attracting an audience of more than 400,000, Woodstock was billed as “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.”

Woodstock 50, in New York, has been announced but amid much controversy with their financial backing pulled, their production company backing out and now losing their venue, it is not known what will happen. 

You can rest assured that Spirit of Woodstock is happening August 16-18, 2019, at one of the prettiest campgrounds in Florida. This summer, we will celebrate the music festival that changed a generation.
