When Did Woodstock Festival Used To Be Held?

The fest commenced on August the Th, a Friday, around 5.07 PM. Uninterrupted it extended up to mid morning of August 18th, the Monday.

The fair in its initial period became identified with the counterculture trend that portrayed the 1960 Hippie culture in America. The Hippie philosophy was to abstain from materialism and authority, disapprove Vietnam War, and show compliance to civil right movements as seen from their dress sense as well as their attitudes toward issues like use of drugs and relationships.
