Real Woodstock Your destination for music, arts & culture, great dining, shopping, and endless family activities. Our school system is a leader in dual language education.

47 miles from Chicago, Woodstock is close to the city with a charming small town personality all its own. Rich with arts and culture, a picturesque town square and a world-renowned Opera House, Woodstock also has an independent streak brimming with creativity and entrepreneurship. Artists and locally-owned businesses are embraced. And music, whether rock, folk, jazz, country or classical, fills the air indoors and out most every night.

🎙️ A new podcast episode of NEXT STOP: WOODSTOCK has dropped!

Coca-Cola. Hollywood. Woodstock. And a little something in the water. 😉

Meet Scott Fritz of Stranded on a Planet, the music producer behind Coca-Cola's global "Taste the Feeling" campaign, music featured in Blade Runner 2049 and the "Woodstock, Next Stop" jingle that inspired the name of our podcast.

So how does someone with a career heard around the world end up in Woodstock? Scott shares what brought him and his wife here, what they love about this community and why he thinks there's something special about the creative, interesting people who call Woodstock home.

Plus, a little w**e makes its way into our Show & Tell! 🍷
