The Smithsonian Institution’s Folklife Festival in Washington DC is
focusing on Haiti this year running from June 23-27 and June 30-July 4,
11am -6pm held on  the National Mall between 14th and 7th Streets--between
the Washington Monument and the Capital--near the Smithsonian museums.

A marketplace of 20 Haitian vendors will sell wares near the Freer Gallery.

in some way.
