Historical Note
The Vortex I music festival, also known as Vortex I: A Biodegradable Festival of Life, was a rock festival held at Milo McIver State Park near Estacada, Oregon. Members of Governor Tom McCall’s staff, in collaboration with members of the Portland counterculture community, planned the state-sponsored festival. Vortex I officially ran from August 28, 1970, to September 3, 1970, to coincide with the American Legion annual convention held in Portland the same week.
