Location:
Almonte ON K0A 1A0

This weekend festival is unique on the international scene and takes over Almonte's Mill Street and the surrounding area in early August. After 11 years then a hiatus, Puppets Up! is back in 2022: August 12-14! After a limited afternoon schedule on the Friday, the weekend has ten shows on four stages, street vendors, and a parade on both days, making one exceptional weekend. Operated by volunteers, the festival has lots of fun jobs to choose from: ticket sellers, theatre hosts, parade marshals, stagehands, kids’ craft tent helpers, and more. Volunteers get festival T-shirts and festival passes. There are also special adult shows on Friday & Saturday night.

Puppets Up Volunteer Appreciation Evening

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 - Wed, 24 Sep

Time: 7:00PM

Have you been, or are you, a volunteer for Puppets Up!? Come out for a Puppets Up! Volunteer Appreciation evening in your honour. The festivities take place on Wednesday, September 24 from 7–9pm at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.

There’s a great time to be had with sweets, a cash bar, great conversations and memories to share — along with an opportunity to explore the exhibits and boutique at the museum. Rumour has it that puppets have been invited too and just may have door prizes to share — bespoke items created by some of our volunteers and supporters! What’s not to love?

RSVP by email to <volunteers@puppetsup.com> and let the fun begin.
