Temporary Tatoos and Free CDs!
Get a temporary tattoo, and redeem for a free CD (with purchase)!
Smithsonian Folklife Festival staff will be handing out free tattoos at the many blue information booths on the National Mall—grab a tattoo because they are (1) fun for kids; (2) temporary and unregrettable; and (3) help you tell everyone that you attended the Folklife Festival! There will be four tattoo designs to choose from.
If you buy any CD at the Festival Marketplace and show us your tattoo, you’ll also get your choice of either of these two CDs for FREE!
The Mississippi River of Song: A Musical Journey Down the Mississippi
Safarini in Transit: Music of African Immigrants
The Smithsonian Folklife Festival Marketplace is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm, and is located in front of the Freer Sackler Museum. We not only offer American, international, and children’s music from the Smithsonian Folkways collection, but also CDs from many of the artists performing and other crafts, artwork, jewelry, gifts and more from the artisans and regions featured at the 2011 Folklife Festival. Proceeds directly support the artists as well as the mission of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife & Cultural Heritage.
Offer valid while supplies last, limit one CD per person, per purchase.
