Puppet Fair Weekend
Our annual Puppet Fair returns!
Every summer since 1956, Fairyland has been proud to host a world-class celebration of puppetry. Spectacular puppet productions of the highest caliber are yours to behold at Fairyland for two days in a row.
Premiere puppeteers from all over the country bring their elaborate, exquisite art form to the park and add to the roster of delightful shows. Educational displays in the Merry Meadow allow viewers to learn about puppetry, types of puppets, and the history of the art form.
Audiences of every age will be mesmerized when the world of puppetry comes to life for one magical weekend in a summer of Fairy Fun.
