It's hard to believe that just two weeks ago, we wrapped up another Yasgur Road Reunion to commemorate the original 1969 Woodstock festival. This year marked a major milestone as we celebrated 30 years of the Yasgur Road Campground. And as we do every year, we celebrate Roy Howard’s vision and life—none of what we do today would exist without the foundation he built. Thank you, Roy. We do our best to remember and celebrate you in everything we do.
But a festival like this doesn't just happen; it takes a village of beautiful, dedicated souls pitching in to make it all work. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to:
Jeryl Abramson: For continuing to open up this home to all of us and allowing us to keep this tradition, spirit, and legacy alive year after year.
Our Incredible Attendees: You are the heart and soul of the festival, and it doesn’t happen without you all.
The Staff, Volunteers & Security Team: For your hard work and dedication.
The Food & Craft Vendors: For keeping us fed, hydrated, and surrounded by amazing art, creations, and good vibes in the woods.
The Live Painters: For bringing so much color, creativity, and visual magic to the farm, capturing the energy of the weekend right on canvas.
Every Single Band: Who poured their heart out on stage—thank you for giving us a weekend of non-stop, amazing music.
Wkze 98.1 FM & Andy Gladding: For helping promote the festival across the airwaves, live streaming performances, and providing audio recordings to the bands—even after a broken axle on his trailer almost stopped it from happening!
Tommy Purple Hayes & His Drum Circle Ceremony Crew: For making our drum circle ceremony so deeply special and bringing even more rhythm and life to the farm.
Lazy Daze Boutique: For providing the stunning uplighting that illuminated our grounds and trees so vibrantly throughout the weekend.
The Drum Circle / Bonfire Crew: You truly are the heartbeat of this festival. Endless gratitude for all the crucial, backbreaking work you put in long before gates even open to prep the wood and build the site—and for working tirelessly around the clock to keep that fire roaring safely and the drums playing straight into the early hours of the morning. For so many of us, coming to Yasgur’s means finding home around that fire, and none of it happens without your dedication keeping the spirit burning bright late into the night.
A very special shoutout goes to the generous local businesses who kept our artists fed and hydrated in the green room! Huge love to some of the absolute best at what they do—we're so lucky to have these legends right here supporting us in our local community:
The Catskill Brewery (Livingston Manor, NY): For keeping the fresh local beer flowing—brewed with the finest hops and the purest Catskill mountain water, right in our backyard.
Benji and Jakes (Kauneonga Lake, NY): For serving up the best pizza for miles—made with pure love and top-shelf ingredients sourced straight from local farms.
Big Kev's BBQ (White Lake, NY): For delivering a legendary feast of their signature BBQ right down the road on 17B. Smoky, savory, and hands down some of the best in the world—slow-cooked with serious passion and mouthwatering flavor.
A big shoutout goes to Tommy Purple Hayes, Sky Alan, Cross Stitch and Painless, Jimmy Taz Tasoulas, Christian Chipart, Jon YonKondy and Jackson Miller. Beyond capturing these moments through your incredible photos, your presence alone brings so much warmth, joy, and spirit to this festival just by being yourselves.
It feels like every single year just keeps getting better and better, and this one set a whole new standard. We've got something truly special here, and we already can’t wait to do it all over again next year!
(If we accidentally missed your name in the whirlwind, please know our gratitude for you is just as massive—thank you!)
Tag yourselves, drop your favorite photos and memories in the comments below, and let’s keep this feeling alive until we meet back on the farm.
With endless love and appreciation,
The Yasgur Road Reunion Family
