Farmer Max Yasgur Considered The Event A Huge Success
Max Yasgur was a dairy farmer who owned the land where the festival took place. He considered the festival a resounding success and a victory for peace and human kindness.
“If a half million young people at the Aquarian Festival could turn such adverse conditions, filled with the possibility of disaster, riot, looting, and catastrophe, into three days of music and peace. Then perhaps there is hope that if we join them, we can turn those adversities that are the problems of America today into a hope for a brighter and more peaceful future.” ——Max Yasgur.
