Brand new day

Downtown celebrates the 40th anniversary of Woodstock on Saturday, as well as  Recovery Day 2009, with a free day-long event full of music and festivities at the Louisiana State Museum. Recovery Day is the capstone of National Drug and Alcohol Recovery month, and the event will feature speakers on that subject as well as headlining performances by Jefferson Starship, Richie Havens, Big Brother & the Holding Company and many more. The night caps off with a full-blown concert at the River Center. For a full schedule of the free Recovery Day events, visit 2009recoveryday.com.
