Group Description

This is the official group pool of the 2017 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Upload your photos of the Festival here!

Each day we share top ten photos from the Folklife Festival to our Festival blog. Share your most memorable experiences with us and other photographers in the Flickr group!

We encourage you to engage in conversation with Festival participants you photograph or film, find out a bit about who they are and what they are doing, and include this information when you upload these images to the group pool.

Don't forget to add the hashtag #2017Folklife in the description of your image!

Please note that daily galleries do not necessarily correspond to the day that the photos were taken, but rather the day the photos were chosen.

Group Rules:
Please post only photos of the 2017 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Also, we'd love it if you'd add #2017Folklife or #50YearsofFolk to all of your Smithsonian Folklife Festival images.
