After much deliberation, we've chosen seven of our favorite Flickr images of the 2011 Smithsonian Folklife Festival: one each from the Rhythm & Blues, Peace Corps, and Colombia programs, and three photos of our Festival visitors or elements of the Festival environment. Well, and one more bonus shot of R&B. Thanks for your great contributions to this year's Flickr group!
