About the Program
Wonder and merriment await at the Skirball Puppet Festival. During this fan-favorite event, puppets of all shapes and sizes will be walking, soaring, and stomping about ready to meet you! So, say hello, shake a leg, and share high fives as you move between performances from some of Southern California’s premier puppetry acts.
Adding to the magic are two wildly fun puppet parties, where festivalgoers and puppeteers all meet up to enjoy live music together. While you’re here, design a puppet with imagination-sparking materials so your newly created pal can join the fun, too!
"The fun and excitement never stops! The puppeteers are always so amazing and engaging."
