Location: Almonte
The Puppets Up! festival is back after 6 years to entertain children and adults in their family festival and bring some of the best and most innovative puppetry from around the world to the streets of Almonte.
Puppets Up! was started in 2004 by a group of fun people in Almonte (inspired and led by Noreen Young, the visionary puppet creator behind “Hi Diddle Day” and “Under The Umbrella Tree”) who wanted to entertain and inform people about the varied and vibrant art of puppetry, something common to virtually all cultures.
During its initial run, the festival drew crowds from across the country and around the world to see puppeteers and street formers perform in intimate theatres and against the backdrop of Almonte’s historic main street. And now, they are bringing the magic back.
