Focused on promoting and presenting the lively cultural traditions of the nation's fourth largest city, the Folklife Program works in the city's diverse neighborhoods and communities to explore and highlight the contemporary traditions that make Houston one of the most vibrant urban landscapes in the United States. Program's goals include research, documentation and public projects that explore the wide variety of established and emerging cultural communities that come together in the greater Houston area.
