The Smithsonian Folklife Festival is an international exposition of living cultural heritage annually produced outdoors on the National Mall of the United States in Washington, D.C. The 2015 festival focused on the folklife and culture of Peru. As part of this festival there are opportunities for interns to help with the behind the scene efforts and event planing.
