Puppets Up! was started in 2004 by a group of REALLY fun people in Almonte (inspired and led by Noreen Young) who wanted to entertain and inform people about the varied and vibrant art of puppetry, something common to virtually all cultures. The goal was to create a unique two day international Puppet Festival, situated in the main street environment of Almonte, Ontario, for persons of all ages. Now entering our 12th year…one might say that they have succeeded!!

Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival is a wonderful day or weekend out for anyone who loves the opportunity to take in original theatre, enjoy the delights offered by a beautiful and historic town like Almonte, and the pleasures of an outdoor festival experience.
