The Skirball celebrates the art of puppetry during this festive day of performances, art making, and new and classic tales told through marionettes, shadow, and full-body puppets.

The program brings together some of Southern California’s most talented puppeteers and artists working in a wide range of cultural and artistic styles. 

Guests can enjoy puppetry performances, puppet parties - where festivalgoers and puppeteers meet up to enjoy live music together, and the opportunity to make their own puppet friend to join in on the fun.

The day ends with grand procession of puppets.

Space in limited, and advance tickets are advised. The price includes Museum admission; limited Noah's Ark tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis only.
