Chronology

At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan shakes up the folk scene by going electric and singing rock as the voice of a generation—defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. Scenes shot at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan made his first public appearance with an electric guitar, were filmed in the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Due to the resort’s National Heritage designation due to the concentration of Victorian architecture as well as other 19th and 20th century architectural motifs, minimal remediation was required.
