Winters End Pop Festival

ORLANDO SPEED WORLD - BITHLO - FLORIDA EASTER WEEKEND - MARCH 27, 28, 29, 1970

"Winter's End" was a movie about a girl who overdoses on drugs and falls from a two story window and survives.

The Winters End Pop Festival was put together to help promote the movie. The Festival was originally to take place in Miami however due to permitting issues the Festival was relocated to Bithlo, a small town just outside of Orlando, Florida. At the time Bithlo had no police force so there were lots of illegal activities going on and acid was plentiful.

The Festival was filmed by the same promoters that put on Woodstock but that footage is no where to be found.
