Oficial site for the 29th Latin American Festival of Washington DC

Every year on the third weekend of Sept. this sleepy little town comes alive with a festival of music, arts and crafts, parades, and great food. The best part of our festival though is our people. Our theme is that of another time. A time when things moved a little slower, a time when people took the time to visit with each other, but most of all a time when everybody enjoyed the life they had and the friends they shared.

The Folklife Festival is a unique Washington, DC tradition. However to keep this program alive, we rely on the support of our volunteers. We are still in need of volunteers for the festival this summer (June 23-27, June 30- July 4). This year is especially important because Washington, DC is one of the featured areas (in addition to El Rio and Tibet). Please go to the website and fill out an application if you are able to volunteer.
