Why Folklife?
Folklife is the music we sing, the foods we cook, the stories we share, and the everyday ways we stay connected. It’s living culture, passed down and reinvented by each new generation. Family Folklife Day uplifts our youngest culture-keepers—our “future ancestors”—with joyful opportunities to celebrate their heritage and discover their neighbors’.
