Here is a poster for a love-in (or in this case a “human-in”) held on September 3, 1967, on Mount Royal. In a “peace and love” atmosphere, bands were invited to play on stage, namely The Sidetrack and Penny Lang. Poetry and drama performances were also on the menu for the afternoon.
The event promoted on this poster is the same event featured in the video clip on this story page. Alan Brown, member of The Sidetrack, talks about it in his interview with ARCMTL.
