Fifty years later, the site of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair is on the National Register of Historic Places. For some who were there, it's a place of pilgrimage and memories.

After a series of logistical and financial setbacks, the planned three-day festival celebrating the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair has been canceled by its organizers.

The promoters of a 50th anniversary Woodstock festival can still attempt to put on their event in August, though they face a steep uphill battle for financing and permits.

Local leaders are reacting after this week’s announcement that effectively cancelled Woodstock 50.

The Dentsu Aegis Network, which had been funding the ambitious, three-day 50th anniversary music festival with headliners including Jay-Z and Santana, says that the August event will not happen.

Tickets were set to go on sale Monday. Last week, Billboard reported that wouldn’t happen.

Will peace, love and music be back? One of the original organizers of the iconic 1969 event is putting together a new three-day festival, which will take place in August in upstate New York.
