The 2014 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the 48th annual edition celebrating cultural traditions from around the world, took place June 25 to 29 and July 2 to 6 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The themes were “China: Tradition and the Art of Living,” and “Kenya: Mambo Poa!” This year’s event left us with many memorable images which can be viewed by clicking on the photo icons below.
