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.

Sat Night Puppet Cabaret

Sat, 13 Aug 2022 - Sat, 13 Aug

Time: 7:30PM

Cost: $30

The much beloved Saturday Night Puppet Cabaret is basically a “puppet jam” when the various puppets of Puppets Up! let their hair (and their filters!) down and have the sort of fun that comes about after performing for families all day under the hot Almonte sun. Needless to say, this show is for adults only! Get your tickets ASAP at TicketsPlease.ca!
