Family of Woodstock

As the intended event planner for Woodstock 2010, it is my responsibility to examine previous Woodstock events (1969, 1994, and 1999) to assist in my preparation for this event. Furthermore, by studying the past triumphs and failures, I can recreate the elements that worked and improve upon the elements that were failures. Indeed, close attention will be paid to identifying the most critical areas of concern, identifying three additional areas needing attention, and determining the previous event’s goals and objectives.

Through the review of the literature, it is revealed that human services agencies operate in a hostile environment something that creates a challenge ith regard to acquiring resources as well as legitimacy. It is revealed that it is quite difficult that change is achieved and that MOCD’s success solely depends on the means by which such challenges are resolved.

The festival included 32 acts and was “widely considered to be the definitive nexus for the larger counterculture generation”. This was a weekend in which peace and acceptance throughout the country was celebrated and communicated through love and music, just like during the Watts and Altamont music festival.
