The Aftermath

If you ever hosted a party, you know all about the feeling of being left with a lot of cleaning up to do the following morning. Woodstock was just like that, with the extent of being a gigantic party of 500,000 people!

Poor Max Yasgur found his Bethel dairy farm in a terrible state after the festival’s end. The piles of trash left behind by the supposedly nature-loving hippies did not make for a beautiful sight, and the locals were shocked to see their hometown in such a state. That’s why Yasgur refused to host a second edition of the festival in 1970.
