"The Human Be-In took place on January 14, 1967 in Golden Gate Park. The event was a critical moment in San Francisco’s countercultural history that ultimately set in motion the Summer of Love, bringing hippies to California, specifically San Francisco, in droves. It positioned San Francisco as the capital of the counterculture philosophy and the epicenter of music and protest. 30,000 people gathered to turn on, tune, and drop out in peaceful protest against Vietnam, the illegalization of LSD, and restrictive, “square” society. Ultimately, it is remembered as an event that inspired the likes of Woodstock, and its promotion of peace, love, and happiness lives on in collective pop cultural memory half a century later. "
