Roots to Revival

By Linda Tancs

Roughly the size of Indiana, Hungary is a culturally rich country with distinctive traditions in music, dance, costume, crafts and gastronomy.  All of those facets will be on display now through 7 July at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. between the Smithsonian museums.  Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase some prized handiworks at the Marketplace tent.  This year’s festival will also feature endangered languages and cultural heritage as well as African American dress and body art.
