Hippie Festivals in Ohio
Idealized as the classic and original hippie festival, Woodstock 1969 was a celebration of music, love, art and alternative lifestyles. Nobody expected the festival to turn out the way it did, and nobody could have predicted the success to follow. Because of this success, the original Woodstock paved the way for many more music festivals to come, with several springing up in the state of Ohio. Some are well-established hippie festivals, while some are just trying to make a name in an ever-growing scene--but they all celebrate music, love and art just like the original Woodstock event.
