A love-in is a peaceful public gathering focused on meditation , love , music , sex and/or use of recreational drugs . The term was coined by Los Angeles radio comedian Peter Bergman , creator of comedy group The Firesign Theater , who also hosted the first such event on Easter , 26 March 1967 in Elysian Park .[1]

The term [ edit ]
The term love-in has been interpreted in varying manners, but is often connected to protesting local, social or environmental issues.[2] [3] Such protests were often held in opposition to the Vietnam War .[4] As such, love-ins are largely considered a staple of the 1960s hippie counterculture .
More recently the term is occasionally used figuratively to describe a situation in which people shower praise on one another in excess.[5]
Background [ edit ]
The First Love-in was preceded by the Heavenly Happening , at midnight, on November 16, 1966, on the Sheep Meadow in Central Park , organized by New York Parks Commissioner , Thomas Hoving .[6]
January 1967 Human Be-In [ edit ]
The Human Be-In at the Polo Fields in San Francisco 's Golden Gate Park on January 14, 1967.[7] [8] [9]
First Love-in on Easter in Elysian Park [ edit ]
The First Love-in started before dawn.[10] The Los Angeles Free Press promoted the event.[10] 15,000 people[11] crowded in a natural amphitheater in Elysian Park, and listened to the psychedelic rock bands Strawberry Alarm Clock , The Peanut Butter Conspiracy , Clear Light , and the Flamin' Groovies .[12] [13] [14]
1967 New York Easter Be-in [ edit ]
The New York Easter 1967[15] [16] be-in was organized by Jim Fouratt , an actor; Paul Williams, editor of Crawdaddy! magazine; Susan Hartnett, head of the Experiments in Art and Technology organization; and Chilean poet and playwright Claudio Badal.[17]
