The 2018 Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the Mall. By Peggy McGlone Peggy McGlone Reporter covering the arts in the Washington region Email Bio Follow March 14 at 7:27 PM The Smithsonian Institution has canceled this summer’s 10-day Folklife Festival celebrating the music and culture of Benin and Brazil and will replace it with a smaller event.
