About Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

Bethel Woods sits on the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, about 90 miles from New York City. The Museum at Bethel Woods uses artifacts, films, music and immersive displays, including a historic hippie bus, to take you back to the festival and the decade around it, and you can walk the field where the crowd gathered. The Pavilion amphitheater has 4,500 covered seats and a sloping lawn for concerts, which typically run May through September.
