The USPS Postal Service issued this stamp to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock.
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held in the small farming community of Bethel, New York in August 1969, was the most famous rock festival in history and an expression of the youth counterculture of the 1960s. Woodstock fatures more than 30 performers, an unprecedented assembly of musical talent where Jimi Hendrix performed an electric guitar rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' that became legendary.
The stamp art features an image of a dove along with the words "3 Days of Peace and Music" evoking the original promotional poster for the festival.
Art director Antonio Alcala designed the stamp.
