Since releasing his first Country album in 2008, Rucker has earned a whole new legion of fans with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart plus 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012, and he won his third career GRAMMY Award in 2014 for Best Solo Country Performance with his Diamond-certified (11x Platinum) version of “Wagon Wheel,” one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time.

In addition, Rucker has advocated for over 200 charitable causes supporting public education and junior golf programs in South Carolina through the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation and serves as a National Chair for the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tenn.

His guitar, message, and music speak a universal language of rhythm and soul, uniting audiences worldwide. Critically acclaimed rock icons The Doobie Brothers will appear on the majority of tour dates, bringing their rich legacy of roots-based, harmony-laden, guitar-driven rock and roll to fans across North America. The legendary hitmakers (Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John McFee, and Michael McDonald) will perform all the hits fans know and love as well as new music from their highly acclaimed new album, Walk This Road. Walk This Road, their 16th album, is the fi rst-ever Doobie Brothers studio album to feature Johnston, Simmons, McFee, and McDonald with songwriting by all three Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees. Santana and The Doobie Brothers share a history of touring together — most notably in 2019, when The Doobie Brothers supported Santana on the Supernatural Now tour, celebrating major milestones in Santana’s career, including the 20th anniversary of Supernatural and the 50th anniversary of his iconic performance at Woodstock.

In support of the music, Strings recently performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air and appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he performed “Escanaba” and spoke with the host. Ahead of his spring run, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour through the winter with stops at Louisville’s KFC Yum!

TOTO, CHRISTOPHER CROSS AND THE ROMANTICS ANNOUNCE PLANS TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA TOGETHER SUMMER, 2026

THE 32 SHOW RUN BEGINS ON JULY 15 AT BETHEL WOODS CENTER FOR THE ARTS IN BETHEL, NY WITH THE FINAL EVENT STAGED IN TORONTO, ON AT THE RBC AMPHITHEATRE ON AUGUST 30

APPEARANCES ON-SALE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12 AT 10AM LOCAL TIME HERE:

 https://totoofficial.com/events/

Artist Pre-Sales Go Live Tuesday, December 9 at 12PM Local Time

TOTO, CHRISTOPHER CROSS and THE ROMANTICS have announced plans to tour North America Summer, 2026, produced by Live Nation. The run commences on July 15 in Bethel, NY at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts with 32 appearances planned prior to the final event on August 30 in Toronto, ON at the RBC Amphitheatre. The general on-sale begins on Friday, December 12 at 10AM local time here: https://totoofficial.com/events/.

This past year has been one of the strongest in Toto’s 48 years of existence with more than a half a million fans coming out to see them perform, alongside over a billion streams counted this year alone. The weekly average is more than 20 million plays at the DSPs, which has triggered additional certifications throughout this past year. Total streams at Spotify exceed four billion and seven billion across all platforms.

Toto’s largest hit “Africa” has achieved the milestone of TWO BILLION plays at Spotify alone, while “Hold The Line” exceeds ONE BILLION streams.  On the sales side, “Africa” has been certified DIAMOND by the RIAA (10 million sold), with cumulative sales now approaching 11M. Additionally, “Hold The Line” has been certified triple platinum for sales of three million copies, while “Rosanna” hit the milestone of double platinum for sales of two million copies.

Cumulative Toto album sales are 50 MILLION plus copies.

For all members past and present, one of the most exciting details to celebrate is the continual aging down of the band’s audience. Consistently, more than half of the billion annual streams are plays from those 34 years or younger. The live audience present night to night has truly become a celebration of three generations coming together.

Individually and collectively the band’s family tree can be heard on countless Grammy Award winning albums across all genres. Toto are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles while continuing to remain relevant.  Led by Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams, the band features a collection of lifelong friends many deem amongst the best players on planet Earth.

Paul Simon Announces Summer Tour 2026 

In US and Canada 

The legendary singer-songwriter expands his 

"A Quiet Celebration Tour,"

Featuring his Grammy-nominated album Seven Psalms, and a celebration of his timeless classics 

”a beautiful benediction for one of America’s defining songwriters… take any chance you get to see him again."

 - Los Angeles Times  

"the songwriter delivered a remarkable performance that mixed hits and deep cuts with a complete performance of his 2023 LP Seven Psalms......a victory lap for one of the greatest songwriters of the past century."

- Rolling Stone

“The entire evening was magic. It displayed sheer musicianship from Simon and his accompanying band that included guitars, strings, percussion and woodwind instruments. As the tour name suggested, it was a quiet approach to showmanship, lacking the antics of the modern-day, pop-fueled concerts… Simon’s performance was majestic and vulnerable.”

-St Louis Post Dispatch 

 “There’s a fragility and honesty combined with humour and charm… Simon’s A Quiet Celebration Tour may describe the tone of his two-hour-and-20-minute show — ...but it doesn’t really do justice to the genuinely moving…career-spanning performance that unfolds.”  

-Toronto Sun 

February 3, 2026 – Today the legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon announced plans for a US and Canada summer tour as he extends his  "A Quiet Celebration Tour," following a highly successful and critically acclaimed US tour last year.  The experience was so encouraging that Simon was inspired to expand and play in some of the best outdoor summer venues in North America. 

The show will be in two parts, opening with the performance of the Grammy nominated masterpiece Seven Psalms. This beautiful 33 minute continuous piece of music was heralded by the press worldwide - Variety called it "Quietly stunning...unlike any other Simon album" and Rock Cellar hailed it as, “a stunning achievement from an artist with a career full of them.” After a brief intermission, the show resumes with Simon performing many of his greatest hits and many deep cuts celebrating the breadth of his career. 

The tour will begin on June 4 in Palo Alto, CA with dates at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, Tanglewood in Lenox, MA, Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, NY and ending at Ravinia in Highland Park, IL July 18. The band will include: Edie Brickell (vocals), Mark Stewart (guitar), Bakithi Kumalo (bass), Andy Snitzer (saxophone), Jamey Haddad (percussion), Mick Rossi (piano, keys), Gyan Riley (guitar), Matt Chamberlin (drums), Nancy Stagnitta (flute), Caleb Burhans (viola) and Eugene Friesen (Cello).

Viral Triple Threat Lindsey Stirling to Hit the Road for Duality Untamed Summer Tour 2026 w/special guest PVRIS

The Violinist/Dancer/Aerialist Kicks off the 32-date run July 7 in Richmond

January 26, 2026 – Global phenomenon Lindsey Stirling, the trailblazing multi-platinum electronic violinist, dancer, and aerialist, announces her new Duality Untamed Tour 2026 with special guest PVRIS, a 32-date North American run launching in Richmond, Virginia. The tour will bring Stirling’s genre-defying live show to major markets including Boston, Washington, DC, Phoenix, Seattle, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Nashville, and Chicago. Tickets for the tour will be available for presale beginning Tuesday, Jan. 27; with public onsale starting Friday, Jan. 30 at 10am local. Please visit www.lindseystirling.com/tour for more information on tickets and VIP sales.

Lindsey Stirling is an artist who stylishly blends sonics with visuals. From her arresting mixture of pop, classical, and electronica, to her meticulous attention to impactful, thematic albums and videos. Artistically, she defies categorization. You can easily find her studio efforts at the top of Billboard’s Top Dance Electronic Album chart, Classical Albums chart, and the all-genre Billboard 200 list. She is the rare artist, especially in the new millennium, to have amassed instrumental AC radio hits.

The tour is named after Stirling's most recent studio album, Duality, another experimental opus that embraces Stirling’s indie music spirit, and features guests such as Royal & the Serpent and Walk Off the Earth. Stirling makes brilliant use of Duality’s extravagant soundscape by exploring intricate questions of intuition and truth. “Eye Of The Untold Her” was used in Suni Lee’s gold & bronze medal winning floor routines during the Paris summer Olympics.

Stirling stays on the pulse of social media as well, amassing 14.3+ million subscribers and over three billion views on YouTube. She also has over 5.2M followers on Tik Tok, and 4.2M+ on Instagram. It’s no wonder that Forbes placed her at #4 on its 2015 World’s Top-Earning YouTube Stars list. In a career spanning more than a decade, Stirling has sold more than 1 million headlining concert tickets.

About PRVIS

Hailing from Boston, MA, PVRIS - the creative project of vocalist/instrumentalist/songwriter, Lyndsey Gunnulfsen (aka Lynn Gunn) - focuses on artistry, emotional resonance, and story-telling in her music. Rather than be tied down to a specific genre, PVRIS has always explored a diverse, eclectic mix of sounds, resulting in a genre all their own.

PVRIS took the unconventional approach of disengaging completely from the public eye to write/record their new album, EVERGREEN. Weary of seeing how modern culture has become so dependent on the internet, social media, instant gratification, and the ever-present “algorithm,” Gunnulfsen embarked on a journey of reflection, meditation, and self-discovery. The result is a body of work that feels timeless and refreshing.

“A master class in bluesy roots-rock.” – Billboard

“An electrifying sound that mixes R&B, gospel and many shades of the blues.” – Rolling Stone

“Soul-stirring music.” – American Songwriter

“The Tedeschi Trucks Band [is] a rarity on the jam-band scene: an act that excels at singing and songwriting as much as at soloing.” – Paste Magazine

“Powerhouse vocals, searing solos and real musical synchronicity.” – Jazz Times

“A group that is, unquestionably, the most impressive rock outfit on the road today. No one comes close to touching their musicianship, energy, and outright capacity to create their own kind of magic night after night.” – Goldmine Magazine

‘The future certainly will have soul in it as long as the Tedeschi Trucks Band are still jamming out.”

– PopMatters

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 23, 2026 – Tedeschi Trucks Band (TTB), the GRAMMY Award-winning band led by the dynamic wife and husband duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, has announced the details for their sixth studio album, Future Soul, and released the first single “I Got You.” The 11-track collection, the band’s most powerful album to date, will be released on Friday, March 20^th via Fantasy Records in the middle of TTB’s 10-show headlining run at NYC’s Beacon Theatre. The infectious “I Got You,” written by guitarist/vocalist Mike Mattison, takes cues from the spirit of Derek and the Dominos and Delaney & Bonnie to create a driving, mid-tempo classic. PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch the official video. PRESS HERE to pre-save Future Soul on DSPs and to pre-order on CD and vinyl.

 
“‘I Got You’ is a breath of fresh air and pretty different for us,” shares Trucks. “It feels like the band, but it doesn’t feel like anything we’ve done before.”

Produced by Mike Elizondo (Twenty One Pilots, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Carrie Underwood) and co-produced by Trucks, Future Soul – recorded at their own Swamp Raga Recording (Jacksonville, FL) as well as Phantom Studios (Gallatin, TN) – marks the follow-up to TTB’s 2022 conceptual quadruple studio album, I Am The Moon, and their latest live release, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell Present: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) (2025). The heart, honesty, and full-band collaboration on Future Soul makes the forthcoming album the most unique collection to date from the revered 12-piece powerhouse ensemble. The majority of the songwriting was done by Trucks, Tedeschi, Mattison, Gabe Dixon, and Tyler Greenwell with the music sonically pulling from a variety of influences including funk, rock ‘n roll, blues, soul, punk, and much more. Track listing for Future Soul below.

To support the album’s release, Tedeschi Trucks Band has announced their Future Soul 2026 Tour, produced by Live Nation. Following the band’s residency at the Beacon Theatre in New York City from March 10-28, the 35-date headlining outing will kick off April 14^th in Dallas for the spring leg, which also stops in Fort Worth, Houston, Raleigh and Atlanta, the latter as a co-headlining show with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. To launch the summer and fall portion of the tour, TTB – “one of the best bands on the road today” – returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for their annual double header on July 31^st and August 1^st. They’ll then bring their electrifying and acclaimed live show across the U.S. stopping in such cities as Seattle, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Washington, DC, Bridgeport, St. Augustine, Tampa, and Milwaukee, among many others, before wrapping with a four-night stand in Chicago from October 23-27. Four dates in August will feature co-headlining shows with Alabama Shakes. Also joining will be very special guest Sheryl Crow for two shows in September, Lukas Nelson on select dates throughout the tour, and JJ Grey & Mofro and Molly Tuttle in various cities, respectively. TTB is also set to perform at numerous festivals this year including Bonnaroo, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and Telluride Bluegrass Festival in addition to their own Sun, Sand & Soul experience in April.

Woodstock Alumnus, Filmmaker & Leadership Coach Steve Alexander Joins Board of The Museum at Bethel Woods

BETHEL, NEW YORK (June TK, 2025) – Steve Alexander, filmmaker, licensed psychotherapist, executive leadership coach, and 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair alumnus, has joined the board of The Museum at Bethel Woods, located on the historic site of the original Woodstock festival.

Alexander was just a teenager when he attended Woodstock in 1969. Since then, he has remained deeply connected to the cultural legacy of the festival, as a keynote speaker and contributor at Woodstock’s 50th anniversary and serving as a key voice in the PBS documentary Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation.

“Steve represents the spirit of Woodstock—an era defined by authenticity, activism, and creative expression,” said Dr. Neal V. Hitch, Senior Curator, The Museum at Bethel Woods. “He not only witnessed this pivotal cultural moment but has spent his life advancing the values it inspired through his work in filmmaking and storytelling through film, leadership coaching and years of public service. His perspective will be invaluable as we continue to share the story of Woodstock in deeper, more meaningful ways.”

The Museum at Bethel Woods explores the social, political, and cultural impact of the 1960s through the lens of the Woodstock festival. Through immersive exhibits, personal stories, and multimedia experiences, the Museum highlights Woodstock as a defining moment in a decade of radical transformation and connects its legacy to today’s conversations around community, creativity, and change. Educational programs and events cultivate intergenerational dialogue, while ongoing preservation efforts honor the history of the site itself.

In addition to his deep ties to Woodstock, Alexander brings decades of experience in communications, leadership, and public service. He is the founder of The Steve Alexander Group, a consulting firm that has trained thousands in public speaking, media relations, and organizational strategy, and has held senior roles at top agencies including chief executive of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and Regional Director of Burson-Marsteller, the world’s largest public relations firm.

His creative work includes The Secret Art of Human Flight, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was named one of 2024’s top ten independent films. He is currently completing a book on communication, I Don’t Mean to Interrupt, and has two films in development, My Elephant Odyssey and Nuur.

Alexander has also served in a number of public appointments, including president of the Medical Board of California, chairman of the California Behavioral Sciences Board and a commissioner for the California State Athletic Commission.

“Woodstock shaped my worldview in ways I’m still discovering,” said Alexander. “To join the board of The Museum at Bethel Woods is to come full circle. I’m honored to help steward the legacy of Woodstock, amplify its messages for a new generation, and support a museum that continues to inspire reflection, dialogue, and connection.”

Robyn Gerry and Patricia Salenger Elected to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Board of Trustees

Bethel, NY – May 27, 2025 — Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the nonprofit cultural center and site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, today announced two new members of the organization’s esteemed Board of Trustees: Robyn Gerry and Patricia Salenger.

“Both Robyn and Patricia bring a wealth of experience in philanthropy, community engagement, and leadership that supports Bethel Woods’ mission to provide extraordinary experiences, expand access to the arts, and preserve and interpret the 1969 Woodstock site,” said Eric Frances, CEO of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. “Robyn and Patricia are long-time supporters of Bethel Woods and have played a pivotal role in the creation and expansion of some of our most impactful projects. They each support numerous nonprofits and initiatives across the region, and their perspective and input will be invaluable as we continue to grow our impact.”

With more than four decades of experience in marketing, nonprofit governance, and community development, Gerry brings a deep-rooted personal and professional commitment to the mission and legacy of Bethel Woods. The original concept for Bethel Woods—which was founded by her father Alan Gerry—came from Gerry’s idea to preserve the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival and create an arts and cultural center to serve as a hub in the community. She has held senior positions with Group W Communications and Cablevision Industries, where she served as Director of Marketing and later Director of Work/Life Resources. Before retiring, she was Bethel Woods’ Vice President of Marketing. Alongside her professional endeavors, she has passionately served numerous civic and nonprofit organizations, including founding and leading Nana’s House Child Care Center and serving as Board Chair for the Sullivan County Child Care Council and C.A.C.H.E.

“I'm honored and thrilled to serve on the Board of Trustees for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, a place very near and dear to me. Having held many roles there since its inception, it is a privilege to serve in this new capacity,” said Gerry.

Gerry also serves on The Museum at Bethel Woods’ Board of Trustees and has been a long-standing member of the fundraising committee, serving as the 2025 Chair of the annual “Backstage at Bethel Woods” gala. She is also a board member of the Gerry Foundation.

A resident of Sullivan County, Salenger has a storied history of supporting nonprofits. She helped start the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, founded the organization Mothers Voices—which helped families with AIDS—and served on the board of The American Cancer Society and Honors Bridge Club, one of the most renowned in the world. Salenger started her career as a flight attendant with TWA and Pan Am, wanting to travel the world. Her professional career began with a company she started, Pateli Fashions, part of the Russ Togs family.

“Joining the board at Bethel Woods is more than an honor. It's a meaningful opportunity to help steward a place where history, art, and inspiration intersect. As a board member, I’m proud to contribute to a legacy that began with a movement for peace and continues today through education, music, and cultural connection. Together, we’re not only preserving the spirit of Woodstock, but also nurturing future generations to dream, create, and lead with peace and purpose,” said Salenger.

The Bethel Woods Board of Trustees supports the Center’s vision to make the world a better place through the power of music and the arts. This group brings decades of experience from their professional careers and tenures on other boards to contribute a variety of skills in key areas including management, business development, fundraising, and marketing.

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Seeks Proposals to Memorialize Iconic Message Tree

- Artistic tributes will pay homage to beacon of 1969 Woodstock festival -

Bethel, NY (December 10, 2024) — As part of its commitment to preserving the legacy and history of Woodstock, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—the historic site of the 1969 music and art festival—is seeking proposals from artists and artisans to create commemorative works of art in honor of the legendary Message Tree, a central symbol of the 1969 Woodstock festival. The Message Tree, a 60-foot red maple located on the site of the original festival, served as a unique gathering place for attendees who left messages, notes, and well-wishes pinned to its bark, making it an enduring symbol of peace, love, and community.

After more than 100 years of life, the Message Tree was no longer viable and at risk of falling. In September 2024, the tree was carefully taken down, but its legacy will live on. As part of an effort to preserve and honor this iconic piece of history, Bethel Woods is seeking proposals from artists to transform the wood of the fallen tree into lasting works of art that celebrate its role in the 1969 festival and its significance in the cultural memory of Woodstock. These works will be exhibited as part of the *Arts and Crafts of Woodstock* at the Bethel Woods Museum in 2025.

RFP Details:

• Project Scope: The selected artists will create sculptures, carvings, or other artistic works from the wood of the Message Tree. These pieces will be displayed at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and may be used to further preserve and communicate the history of the Message Tree and the spirit of Woodstock.
• Artistic Vision: Artists are encouraged to draw inspiration from the Message Tree’s rich legacy as a symbol of free expression, unity, and the enduring impact of the Woodstock festival. The works will serve as both a tribute to the past and a tangible connection

Stay Where Music is the Destination
Campground at Bethel Woods Expands Booking Dates and Offerings
– Original site of Woodstock’s campsite now available beyond show days  –
 

March 19, 2025 (BETHEL, NY) – A historical pillar of the American music scene, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—a non-profit performance venue and original site of the 1969 Woodstock festival—is excited to announce that bookings for its second season of camping are officially open. Following an incredibly successful first season, the one-of-a-kind campground will now be open with new features and accommodations.
 

Bethel Woods is expanding its camping options beyond show nights. From May through October, guests can now enjoy a variety of camping experiences in the days surrounding concerts and festivals. This change comes after Bethel Woods surveyed first-season campers and found a strong demand for extended accommodations. The survey also highlighted that nine out of ten guests reported being very or extremely satisfied with their experience.
 

“Throughout our first season, we closely monitored the feedback from our guests and made the necessary changes to enhance their experience. Among their favorite perks of camping, guests told us they loved the freedom to skip post-concert traffic and unwind under the stars of our historic campground.” said Eric Frances, CEO, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. “An original festival advertisement read, ‘walk around... without seeing a skyscraper or a traffic light,’ highlighting that the iconic weekend was about much more than just music; it was an escape from reality. We are thrilled to continue offering that sense of retreat today.”
 

The Campground offers two camping locations. Pavilion Camping features in-venue glamping and premier tent sites, steps away from the main stage; and Historic Camping, on the original 1969 camping sites, with spaces for RVs and cars—a legendary location with modern amenities. Guests will now be able to choose their exact campsite while booking, making it easier to stay next to friends. Other new amenities to the campground include a camp store and food service, additional picnic tables, fire pits, and community game areas, including a Woodstock historically-focused disc golf course. Plus, with Lake Superior State Park located just around the corner, the site is perfect for a day trip to the lake for boating and swimming.

“The Campground at Bethel Woods was a dream of ours for years, and seeing it come to life for the community has been surreal. We are excited to continue expanding and evolving the campground for years to come,” added Frances.

– Interactive installation explores the lesser-known elements of Woodstock’s historic site, from the festival’s marketplace to its revolutionary camping experience –

March 10, 2025 (BETHEL, NY) – The Museum at Bethel Woods, located on the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, is excited to announce the opening of its 2025 Special Exhibit, How Bazaar: Arts, Crafts, & Camping at Woodstock. This exhibit explores two integral pieces of the Woodstock experience: the Bindy Bazaar marketplace and the festival’s pioneering approach to on-site camping. Drawing on over five years of extensive research, oral histories, and archaeological investigations, this exhibit invites visitors to explore the rich and often overlooked elements that contributed to Woodstock’s legacy.

Woodstock was one of the first major music festivals to offer on-site camping, allowing attendees to remain immersed in the experience without ever leaving the grounds. This communal atmosphere fostered a unique sense of togetherness that became central to Woodstock’s cultural significance. Vast stretches of farmland east and west of the festival site transformed into vibrant tent cities, providing festival-goers with a peaceful escape in nature as they enjoyed three days of peace, love, and music.

Another key feature of the festival was the Bindy Bazaar, a wooded marketplace that was meant to serve as the festival’s main entrance. Featuring winding trails and vendor booths nestled among the trees, the Bindy Bazaar was designed to bridge the gap between the real world and the festival experience. Attendees strolled through trails like Gentle Path, Groovy Way, and High Way, where artisans and vendors sold crafts, clothing, and handmade goods. Over the years, extensive research and preservation efforts have uncovered new insights into this area, leading to the restoration of the Bindy Bazaar trails and a deeper understanding of its role in the Woodstock story.

The launch of this exhibit coincides with a new era for Bethel Woods, as the historic site now offers camping opportunities for concert attendees, allowing modern visitors to experience the same landscape that welcomed 450,000 people during the iconic 1969 festival.

“This exhibition is the culmination of years of dedicated research, storytelling, and archaeological exploration to uncover a deeper understanding of the Woodstock experience and the nature of our historic site,” said Museum Director and Senior Curator, Dr. Neal V Hitch. “As we continue to activate and preserve new areas of the historic site, we are excited to offer visitors the opportunity to connect with the festival’s legacy in a meaningful way and see how its spirit still inspires us today.”

The exhibition will showcase a selection of artifacts collected over several years in preparation for this event. Many of these connections with donors were fostered through the Museum’s ongoing Oral History Initiative, which launched in 2020 and has since preserved over 1,000 stories.

Photographs captured by David Shelburne, and generously donated by his wife, Ellen Shelburne, will bring the Woodstock experience to life as large-scale murals of the Bindy Bazaar Woods and Best Road campgrounds. Ellen, who was interviewed for the Museum’s oral history project in 2023, returned to the festival site in 2024 for the first time to experience Bethel Woods’ new glamping offering and revisit her Woodstock memories—a journey that was highlighted in an AP article.

Camping equipment, sleeping bags, blankets, and clothing worn at the festival will come together to form a diorama of a festival campsite. Also featured are a camp stove and lantern donated by Carl and Wayne Kieper, who were interviewed by the Museum in 2023 and 2024. Their 2024 return to the site, where they saw Woodstock alumni Santana, was recently featured in a Toronto Sun article.

Kenneth Bray, a silversmith who had a booth at the festival in 1969 has recreated some of his iconic Woodstock designs for display. His jewelry will be for sale through the Museum Store.

Archaeological artifacts collected by the Museum during professional surveys of the site will also be displayed, showcasing the types of food items and cooking equipment that were brought to Woodstock by attendees prepared to camp.

How Bazaar: Arts, Crafts, & Camping at Woodstock will be open to the public from April 1 through December 31, 2025. Admission to the Special Exhibit is included with a ticket to The Museum at Bethel Woods or available separately for $5. Tickets are on sale now at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org.
