Each year the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC sponsors a folklife festival on the Mall. There are always three foci, this year they are the culture of Oman, the cultivation and preparation of food, and the resource of our world's forests. In the evenings there are concerts highlighting the music of Latino cultures.

I went down and wandered around, had some good shikabob at the Omani Café, and generally was as unimpressed as usual.
