As Woodstock locals constantly have to break it to visitors, Bethel NY was the actual site of the 1969 Woodstock concert. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts’ 15,000-seat amphitheatre hosts major acts as they swing through the Northeast. Take the scenic backwoods way, and once you get there the campus also has a museum, event gallery and conservatory. Bookings are heavy on old school rock and despite its size, Bethel is a relaxed, nostalgic place to catch a touring show.
