Event Description

On August 10 and 11, 2024, beautiful downtown Almonte comes alive as the stage for a magnificent puppet festival, with 6 theatres, 14 puppet troupes, and 54 performances plus daily parades, incredible street entertainment, a full marketplace, and a kid’s area with an amazing craft tent plus a children’s garden experience for little ones. Admission to this festival is by day pass which allows festival goers to take in as many shows as they want, as well as participate in all the fun free stuff! Separate tickets are also available for 2 adult-only Friday or Saturday evening shows.

Adult-only evening shows are available on Friday, August 9 and Saturday, August 10 at the Almonte Old Town Hall. These tickets must be purchased separately and are not included in the day pass.

Advance tickets are available until August 9 only.

About the Festival

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.

The festival draws crowds from across the country and around the world to see puppeteers and street performers in intimate theatres and against the backdrop of Almonte’s historic main street.
