TMY was selected as one of approximately 40 festivals nationwide to partner with the Smithsonian Institution’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage as part of Of the People: The Smithsonian Festival of Festivals. TMY represents the Southwest and the state of Arizona in an initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

Join Sabrina Motley, Director of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and Dr. Maribel Alvarez, Cultural Advisor to (and former director of Tucson Meet Yourself) for a conversation about what it means to produce and participate in a “festival of festivals”!
