Holiday Shows & Cultural Celebrations

Puppet shows are a wonderful way to celebrate (and learn!) about holidays and culture! At Puppet Showplace's Holiday Shows and Cultural Celebrations, we hope you'll get to see yourself reflected in a puppet show that mirrors your culture & heritage — and experience cultures or traditions that are different from your own.

Through puppet shows, we can celebrate everything from Hanukkah to Lunar New Year, Christmas to Diwali, and Rosh Hashanah to Holi. We can work our brains trying to solve traditional Haitian riddles, experience adventures from the Ramayana, giggle at a 700-year-old Anatolian shadow puppet trickster!

Tickets are required for all children over 12 months of age and all adult attendees and chaperones.
