Click on the above to read and see and hear all about the 2010 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Held each year on The Mall in Washington, D.C.
There is a link in the website above to live webcasts from the festival. Also history about past festivals.
The Smithsonian Folklife Festival is a great annual event usually held the last week of June and first week of July every year. And it is always held when the weather is really HOT and HUMID. D.C. has brutally hot and humid weather in the summer.
We have been going to this festival every year since it began in 1967.
