A good old 'do-si-do' never goes out of style. 🎻 On the penultimate day of the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, we hosted a community contradance on the National Mall with calling by Adina Gordon, a nationally acclaimed caller based in Vermont. Music was provided by Sugar in the Pan, a six-piece youth band that grew out of the Young Tradition Vermont at VT Folklife Touring Group. Their lively tunes had folks of all ages up and dancing as the sun set. Learn more about Sugar in the Pan and our

The work of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage goes beyond summers on the National Mall. ✈️ Last month, members of our staff traveled to Lewiston, Idaho, for a convening co-hosted by the Clearwater Economic Development Association with people engaged in education, cultural heritage, and tourism in the north central Idaho region, on the homelands of the Nimiipuu people (Nez Perce). With a focus on building capacity for cultural tourism, the convening included presentations

As we count down to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, I’m sharing stories of a few participants who I’ve been fortunate to write about. Up next is David Scrivner, a fiddler who regularly plays at the McClurg Jam. It’s a bit surreal to think he’s playing tunes tonight in rural Missouri, but in about a week, he’ll be playing them on the National Mall! Look for links to stories fearing David and McClurg in the comments. #OzarksInDC #2023folklife | Ozarks Alive
