Today we bring you a gallery of outstanding visitor photos from day four of the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

You can upload your own photographs to the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival Flickr Group. We select a gallery of our favorites every day, and take them to a wider audience by sharing them on our Festival blog.

If you’d like to see your work featured as part of the Folklife Festival’s virtual presence, join us on Flickr. Photographers selected for the final Best of the Festival Gallery will receive free Festival merchandise in acknowledgement of their contributions. Want to meet your fellow photographers offline? Join us on Saturday, July 6, for a Smithsonian Folklife Festival Photowalk.

Be sure to tag your photos #2013Folklife.
