Concert performers included Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, Ike & Tina Turner, Three Dog Night and many others. This significant San Fernando Valley event, the precursor to Woodstock, was unfortunately overshadowed by other artistic, political and social events of that historical summer. This event was the Newport ’69 Pop Festival at Devonshire Downs.
To that end, The Museum is asking its patrons for photographs, videos, and/or artifacts of or from the Newport ’69 Pop Festival at Devonshire Downs or stories of individuals who attended the event to help us develop a comprehensive exhibit as a remembrance for the public. This will include identifying individuals who wish to participate in The Museum’s oral history program by documenting their story on video.
If you have any such photos, artifacts or contacts to help us develop this extraordinary exhibit, please contact The Museum’s Vice President, Jackie Langa, and send her an email at Jackie.Langa@TheMuseumSFV.org or call her at The Museum (818) 347-9665 and leave a message and she will return your call as soon as possible.
We appreciate your continued patronage of The Museum and hope we can serve your needs to celebrate San Fernando Valley history, arts and culture in an educational and enjoyable form.
Thank you.
Jackie Langa
