Here are a few of our favorite visitor photos from day five of the 2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. You can see many more beautiful images shared by our visitors by taking a look at Flickr.

Want to see your own photos featured as part of the Festival’s virtual presence? Join us on Flickr. We select a gallery of our favorites every day, and we take them to a wider audience by sharing them on our Festival blog. You can even meet your fellow photographers in person, next Saturday, July 6, at the very first Smithsonian Folklife Festival Photowalk.

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

Be sure to tag your photos #2013Folklife.
