Organized by the Institute of Texas Cultures, the first annual Texas Folklife Festival was held in 1972 and modeled after the Smithsonian’s National Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. The festival showcases ethnic traditions and pioneer skills, including foods, music, crafts, and dance of over 40 cultures in Texas, including British, Japanese, Jamaican, Wendish, Lebanese, and Colombian groups.
