The Texas Folklife Festival was modeled after the Smithsonian’s Folklife Festival,
which was held in Washington, D.C. in 1968. On behalf of the Institute of Texan
Cultures (which was built as part of the Texan Pavilion for the 1968 World’s Fair),
O.T. Baker attended the first Smithsonian Folklife Festival and returned home
with big plans—to replicate the event in San Antonio. And the wheels were set
in motion.
