Summer of Love (1967) As many as 100,000 people flocked to San Francisco, creating a cultural and political rebellion. It became a melting pot of music, psychoactive drugs, sexual freedom, creative expression, and politics. Hippies began to practice communal living and free love The Summer of Love was when the counterculture movement really came into public awareness, and set the tone for years to come

Communes Hippie communities in which the members shared everything equally, rejecting the typical living arrangements and expectations of mainstream American society This included open relationships/free love People in communes tried to live simply, growing their own food where possible Communes were often founded for religious/spiritual reasons For some it was a very rewarding experience, and several communes are still in existence today Others found themselves feeling jealous over sharing people they cared about, or tired of others mooching their stuff. They became disenchanted with the commune and left it behind.

Communes

Woodstock (1969) The definitive music festival of the era Took place on a dairy farm in New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. During the sometimes rainy weekend, thirty-two acts performed outdoors in front of 500,000 concert-goers Jimi Hendrix performed the national anthem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKvnQYFhGCc
