The 2019 Woodstock festival is moving forward with a potential new site in Central New York, but with a much smaller capacity than the original 1969 event.
The Poughkeepsie Journal reports Woodstock 50 organizers have formally applied to stage the three-day 50th anniversary festival at Vernon Downs, home to a casino, hotel and harness horse racing track in Oneida County. Town of Vernon Supervisor Randy Watson tells the newspaper that the application includes a proposed capacity of 45,000 to 50,000 people, though Woodstock 50 organizers are hoping for 65,000.
That’s still a far cry from nearly half a million people that attended the original Woodstock Music and Art Fair at Bethel, 130 miles southeast of Vernon, in 1969.
