I went to Nora’s Sugar Shack to witness HoodSTOCK, In tribute to 1969!The event happened mostly behind the Sugar Shakc in partnership with Mills 50 and the Ivanhoe Village Community.
The events over the course of four days were to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock. Local creatives were showcased from Orlando through music, art, performance, spoken word, film, dance, and more.
Attendees could obtain special discount offerings on food, drink, services, and products. Also, Hoodstock was opening the conversation about establishing a permanent location for street performers, and buskers to perform in the future.
I went hoping to sketch one of the many musicians but I timed it wrong. Vendors were just beginning to set up in the parking lot and attendance was light. My assumption is that it might have gotten much more crowded as the evening wore on. I miss these innocent days of documenting local gatherings. Hopefully after vaccines, life will slowly return to normal.
The POTUS has announced that he intends to hold a Woodstock style rally right here in Florida on the same day Joe Biden is inaugurated. Prepare for the super spreader event of the century! They are bound to have mind altering drugs!
