Today is the opening day of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, held on the National Mall. The 41-year-old event highlights different cultures — this year, Bhutan and Texas — through performances, cooking demonstrations and discussions. This year’s program also will showcase NASA. Diana Parker has worked with the festival since 1975 and took over as its director in 1984.
