Yasgur Road Reunion
The Yasgur Road Campground is host to the annual Woodstock Reunion, a commemoration of the spirit of ’69. For 3 days, and nights, we have vendors, a stage and a drum circle around the fire. It is the true Woodstock experience.
In 1970, The Reunion became an annual August event that took place around the original dates on the original site of Woodstock. In 1996, when the original site was under development for the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, Roy Howard, subsequent owner of the Yasgur Homestead, generously opened the Yasgur Homestead to Hippies who continued to gather each year to commemorate the historic anniversary.
Today, Jeryl Abramson Howard, wife of the late Roy Howard, continues the tradition of welcoming Hippies home.
