SIX IN THE {ALMOST} SIX
COME TOGETHER

It was 50 years ago this summer when over 400,000 music lovers descended upon a little-known dairy farm nestled amongst the Catskill Mountains for three days of peace and music. Since then, Max Yasgur’s 600-acre farm in Bethel, New York has become the stuff of legend, with the Woodstock Music & Art Fair serving as both a pivotal moment in popular music and zeitgeist to the ’60s hippie era. A half-century later, performances by Santana, Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker still stand as some of the best concert footage ever recorded. To commemorate the milestone anniversary, we’ve selected six of Ontario’s summer music festivals which best preserve the spirit of the original Woodstock. While you’re unlikely to watch the sun rise as the world’s greatest guitar slinger riffs on the Star-Spangled Banner, there will be plenty of good vibes, great music, and — weather permitting — a very real chance of mud. So take your time, pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on.
