Holland Pop Festival

The Holland Pop Festival was a three-day music festival in 1970, to the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam. The musical event is the history as the Dutch response to the AmericanWoodstock festival in 1969. Despite the rain there were according to estimates about 150,000 people. The big stage was lined up on the lawn for the Lake Mills the star on the edge of the lily and the Kralingse Plas.

The Festival was in fact the beginning of the Dutch tolerance policy regarding the use of marijuana; many undercover police officers hardly performed on against the openly active users and small traders.
