Why is it called Strawberry Music Festival?
The official explanation for this festival is that "strawberry" is not only a kind of fruit, but also an attitude towards life. It represents the full enjoyment of music and life, is a Spring Festival for everyone, and is a new definition of entertainment.

A film that won the Oscar documentary award is called Woodstock Music Festival 1969. You'll know its name. This film recorded the Woodstock Music Festival held from August 15 to August 18, 969.

This is the most legendary music festival in the history of music, and it is also the object of worship in countless music festivals in the following decades.

Woodstock Music Festival was originally held in upstate New York, USA.

However, the local government strongly opposed it on the grounds of "disturbing the people", and finally the music festival had to be held on a farm 70 miles northwest of new york. The organizers of the music festival estimated the audience at 50,000. However, no one expected that 400,000 people poured into the scene.

The audience far beyond expectations immediately brought a huge problem: the original food and tents were simply not enough.

Then, two days of heavy rain turned the music festival into a "refugee camp". However, it is these two unexpected "disasters" that make this music festival show the glorious side of human nature.

The owner of a local retail store sold a lot of beer and food at the music festival. Faced with the huge flow of people, he didn't take the opportunity to raise prices like the previous "profiteers".

On the other hand, he was worried about being robbed by the audience at first, but the fact is that 400,000 young people are in good order in the case of lack of materials and heavy rain.

When the residents nearby heard that the young people in the music festival were short of food, they immediately rushed to make a batch of sandwiches and sent them over.

But food is far from enough. When the news spread that at least 750,000 sandwiches were needed at the scene, food was quickly flown in from all directions.

In three days, more than 30 rock bands performed on stage. Under the bad weather and environment, 400,000 spectators were intoxicated in their own small world. In this "independent kingdom" that has existed for 72 hours, there is no chaos.

Why is this happening? This involves the essence of the music festival. In the middle and late 1960s, American social contradictions were prominent, and various issues such as human rights and anti-war emerged constantly.

Young people have enough opinions but are not taken seriously. They long for a peaceful and equal world, eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor, and oppose the establishment, so Woodstock Music Festival came into being.

Woodstock Music Festival, as a classic of music festival, tells us that the core element of music festival is music, which is a group of people with the same values.

The music festival has become a big gathering for people with the same characteristics to express themselves and find their companions.

Finally, talk about the Strawberry Music Festival. Why is it called "strawberry"? Because strawberries are the fruits of spring, their temperament is more diverse.

People can feel spring, romance and love from it, and this is exactly the temperament that Strawberry Music Festival wants to create, so it is not surprising to call it Strawberry Music Festival.
