Woodstock Music and Art Fair was a historic event held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 km²) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel (Sullivan County) is 43 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, which is in adjoining Ulster County.

To many, the festival exemplified the counterculture of the 1960s and the "hippie era." Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of this time period appeared during the sometimes rainy weekend. Though attempts have been made over the years to recreate the festival, the original event has proven to be unique and legendary. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest concerts in music history and was listed on Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.

The event was captured in a successful 1970 movie, Woodstock, and Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock", which memorialized the event, became a major hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The concert signaled the end of the so-called "Flower Generation."

Grateful Dead's performance was plagued by technical problems, including a faulty electrical ground (which their roadie insisted on being fixed prior to the band's performance) and members Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir reported getting shocked every time they touched their guitars. While bootleg footage and audio of this performance exists, the Dead called it their worst performance ever and they were left out of the movie. At one point, Jerry Garcia appears in the film holding a joint, saying, "Marijuana. Exhibit A."
