Which historic 1969 festival is considered the pinnacle of the 1960s counterculture?

Woodstock

Woodstock not only made history as an iconic music festival, but it also became a symbol of peace, love, and music, gathering over 400,000 people on a farm in New York State. Initially designed to fund a recording studio, this event transcended its commercial purpose to become a historic moment of gathering, despite the rain, food shortages, and traffic jams. Jimi Hendrix's impromptu performance of the American national anthem, seen as a political statement, has become one of the most enduring images of Woodstock, encapsulating the spirit of an entire generation.
