民俗 - culture/tradition; 风俗 - custom/lore
The general usage and nuance between the two terms might be a bit subjective, but in my experience you would probably use the former when referring to something that is more general and encompasses more people, whereas I would use the latter for something that is more location or specific.
Example sentence:
国家民俗; 当地风俗
