On this day: January 14, 1967

Hippies had their day in the sun on January 14, 1967 when San Francisco youth Tuned In, Turned On, and Dropped Out at the first ever Human Be-In.

The event took place at 1:15 at the Polo Field at Golden Gate Park, and was free for all to attend.

Some of the attractions included, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg and Dick Gregory, also music by The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Of course, the main attraction was the drugs that were offered to help participants expand their minds and reach new places.

Soon after, all over the country, Human Be-In's became a part of the youth culture, and a way for people to come together and experience the peace and love of the late 60's
