Del Webb Communities Celebrate Woodstock Fortieth Anniversary
Baby Boomers will reminisce 1969s three days of peace and music at a variety of Webbstock celebrations at Del Webb communities across Northern California.
Woodstock, the largest rock concert ever conceived and widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history, celebrated its 40th Anniversary last month.
"Woodstock has become a historic symbol with different meanings to thousands of people. To me, it sparks memories of good feelings from years ago," said Lou Reinitz, a Del Webb resident who was 32 years old at the time. "The 40th Anniversary of Woodstock makes me think back to that care-free time in my life and to all the wonderful music."
The public is invited to join Del Webb's "Webbstock Festival" celebration at the three Northern California Del Webb communities. The Club in Roseville, Glenbrooke in Elk Grove and Woodbridge in Manteca are all hosting simultaneous Webbstock events on Sat., Sept. 12th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. All are free and open to the public.
Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of the day appeared during the sometimes rainy weekend in front of nearly half a million concertgoers at Woodstock in 1969.
"Many Del Webb residents lived through--and some even attended--the great festival," said Patrick Higgins, California Area Vice President of Sales. "For the 40th Anniversary, what better way to bring the fun of the 60s and the Woodstock festival back to life than a groovy celebration at Del Webb communities," Higgins said.
At The Club and Glenbrooke, the communities will be hosting classic rock live music from the 60s and 70s, free refreshments, a classic VW bug and bus show, themed giveaways and 60s style art project that residents can wear and take home.
At Woodbridge, the community will be featuring the "Summer of Love" Cast and Band from San Francisco who will perform tribute songs from the 60s. They will also be hosting a Hula hoop demonstration and contest, a classic VW bug and bus show, and providing delicious hot dogs.
