The year was 1968. A time of change within American society was stirring. Anti-war demonstrations and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy triggered a movement in the nation’s youth toward peace and love. The music of the era was filled with protest and pleas for reform. Many of the musical stars of that generation will come together to celebrate and commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Summer of ‘68, when “Hippiefest” comes to the Special Events Center stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at 8pm.
The artists confirmed to perform at “Hippiefest” include Jack Bruce of Cream; The Turtles featuring Flo and Eddie, Melanie, Badfinger featuring Joey Molland, and Jonathan Edwards.
