Puppet Fair
Our Annual Puppet Fair Returns!
Saturday and Sunday, August 24 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
We have a puppet-packed weekend with performances and activities all day, each day! Meet talented puppet makers and see their intricate creations up close and personal! Engage with the artisans and learn about the evolution and secrets behind this timeless art form. Check out displays of exquisite hand, marionette, and rod-style puppets from a variety of artists spanning decades—from the 1950s television era to modern times. Grownups and children alike are sure to be enchanted all day.
This year, 5 spectacular shows hit the Open Storybook Puppet Theater:
“The Wizard of Oz”
Plus! Post-show puppet playdates invite your little ones to get a puppet-palooza hands-on experience they’ll never forget!
Double your fun for this weekend and come both days! It's all free with Fairyland admission!
