Want to revisit your favorite moments of the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival? We’ve put together a selection of dazzling visitor photographs in our Best of the Festival Gallery to help you do just that. Thank you to all of this year’s talented visitors who chose to share their work with us and with the world. We look forward to more wonderful images in 2014.

Photographers selected for the Best of the Festival Gallery will receive free Smithsonian Folklife Festival merchandise in acknowledgement of their contributions.

If you’d still like to share your images of the Festival, join us on Flickr. Not on Flickr? Sign up for free here. Be sure to tag your photos #2013Folklife.

See you again in 2014!
