Sky River Rock Festival
The Sky River Rock Festival and Lighter Than Air Fair was a historic rock festival held on a raspberry farm on the Skykomish River outside Sultan, Washington. First held Aug 31-Sep 2, 1968, it was the first multi-day outdoor hippie rock festival at an undeveloped site. The line-up included bands such as the Grateful Dead and Santana.〔 The festival was held the next year on Aug 30-Sep 1, 1969 in Tenino, Washington, and finally on Aug 28-Sep 8, 1970 in Washougal, Washington.〔
==Overview==
On April 28, 1968, nearly 3,000 fans attended a rock concert at a farm in Duvall where an upright piano was dropped from a helicopter. Performances included Country Joe and the Fish. This concert is well-known to locals as the Piano Drop. This event inspired the Sky River Rock Festival and Lighter Than Air Fair which occurred later that year.〔Walt Crowley, Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995), 110-112, 255.〕
In 1968, the town of Sultan, Washington was visited by more than 20,000 hippies during the festival.〔 Though the event was ticketed, many thousands of people showed up without tickets and snuck in. Proceeds were donated to the Mexican American Federation of Washington, the Foundation for American Indian Rights and the Central Area Peace and Improvement Cooperative.〔http://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/1968s-sky-river-rock-festival-revisited-friday/〕 The Camlin Hotel hosted performers for the festival.
