The Monterey Pop Festival was held June 16 - 18, 1967 at the County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California, also the site of established folk, jazz and blues festivals. It was the first large rock festival, with around 200,000 people attending, and served as a template for the Woodstock Festival in New York State two years later. Many of the performers got their first big-time exposure at Monterey.The festival was captured on film by D. A. Pennebaker to become the hit documentary Monterey Pop. Audio recordings from the festival continue to be very popular.
