Exploring China and Kenya at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival
It’s not every day that you can walk from Kenya to China, but that’s what I did this Saturday. Every summer for two weeks, the National Mall is DC is transformed into a center for global culture when it hosts the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Over 100 artisans, musicians, performers, and chefs take up residence and share their national traditions with Washington DC. The rich cultures of Kenya and China were presented this year and I had a wonderful time exploring the festivities!
The Flower Plaque gate made of bamboo, paper, and plastic welcomes visitors into the Chinese section of the Festival.
