As we close out the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, we invite you to attend this intimate farewell concert which will include music, dance, storytelling, poetry, and much more. It’s your last chance to experience the talent and wisdom of our performers and participants, as well as a chance for them to say goodbye to each other and our audience.

This event will happen in-person, live on the National Mall, during the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on July 2-7, 2025. It will be livestreamed for online audiences and remain archived on our YouTube channel and website.
