Original 1st printing 24 x 30" event poster for a "Festival of Life", a Yippie-sponsored gathering/rally scheduled to coincide with the 1968 Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, IL from 8/25-30/1968.
Design by the Group Image, medium-thin flat index stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there are small diagonal tape marks/stains in all four corners, along with a moderate degree of curling to the paper, a few tiny thin stress creases and thin horizontal/diagonal hairline bends along the top/bottom margins, a few tiny edge nip tears and miniature creasesd scattered along the left/right margins, a soft smudge/discoloration along the upper left margin, a series of VERY soft horizontal roll bends and a soft stain or two on the reverse, otherwise fine.
While no specific acts are mentioned, the event did feature appearances by the MC5 and Phil Ochs, read more about the event (including video of the MC5) HERE:
