We're thrilled to be a part of the Greater Philadelphia Area Puppetry Guild’s inaugural National Day of Puppetry Festival.
The Greater Philadelphia Area Puppetry Guild’s FIRST-EVER National Day of Puppetry Festival at the Abington Art Center focusing on connection, creativity, and community.
The festival will include demonstrations, workshops, performances, and puppet venders. We'll be there with a bunch of Muppet and puppet related items for sale.
This all-day event includes a vibrant lineup of puppet shows, hands-on workshops, puppet-building, a puppet film festival, and more. From morning until night, the art center will be alive with puppets in every corner — onstage, on film, in motion, and even on parade.
