Description: On September 13 and 14, 1969, a selection of the finest folk singers and musicians in the world convened on the edge of Highway 1 in Big Sur, California for a rather intimate gathering of peace, love, music, and a farewell to summer. Set to a backdrop of some of America’s most glorious scenery, the sixth annual Big Sur Folk Festival continued to be an 'anti-festival festival,' considered by attendees as the antithesis of the more commercial events, though the artists considered it an antidote to them. The non-profit 1969 event maintained the tradition of staying small through minimal advertising. It's estimated that 5,000 paid to enter the festival each day, and another 2,000 or so listened freely by camping along the highway out front.
Description: Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of the Central Coast of the U.S. state of California, between Carmel and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery, and has been called the longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States. The views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, extreme surfing, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for visitors from around the world. With 4.5 to 7 million visitors annually, it is among the top tourist destinations in the United States. Despite its popularity, the region is heavily protected to preserve the rural and natural character.
