(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) presents Back to the Garden 1969 on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 7:00pm. Founded by Gary Adamson, they are a group of seasoned players who have toured, performed, and recorded nationally.

The musicians all are multi-instrumentalists, as well as unique lead vocalists. They bring to life the music and spirit of the Woodstock era. By performing these well-loved favorites, they remind us of the astounding breadth and depth of the music of the Woodstock generation.

The Woodstock Music Festival was the ultimate rock concert, a celebration of peace, love and music. Now, more than fifty years later, let us help you create your own Woodstock Event. The musical performances are a tribute to the artists who made Woodstock great, including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Sly &The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Canned Heat, Ten Years After, The Who, Mountain, Richie Havens, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe & The Fish,…and more!

Back to the Garden 1969 brings you a full multimedia theatrical event, recreating the Woodstock Experience through period costuming, lighting, video, and sound bites. Storytelling also enhances the mood, with tales of the festival, the legendary artists who performed, and the backdrop of the tumultuous decade of the 60’s.

Tickets range from $29-$49 and are available for purchase online or by calling the Box Office at (201) 227-1030. Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey.
