A celebration of cultural democracy, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival is an annual event on the National Mall put on by the institution's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. As an exploration of "community-based cultural exemplars," the affair encourages visitors to learn by interaction, and pulls from the research and presentational skills of over 1,000 folklorists, cultural anthropologists and many academic scholars. 202-633-6440; www.folklife.si.edu; free.
