The Children’s Fairyland Annual Puppet Fair

Step into a world where the history of puppeteering comes to life! Fairyland is proud to host a world-class celebration of puppetry where premiere puppeteers come together and present mesmerizing puppet productions of the highest caliber for an entire weekend.

We have a puppet-packed weekend with performances and activities all day, each day! Meet talented puppet makers and see their intricate creations up close and personal! Engage with the artisans and learn about the evolution and secrets behind this timeless art form. Check out displays of exquisite hand, marionette, and rod-style puppets from a variety of artists spanning decades—from the 1950s television era to modern times. Grownups and children alike are sure to be enchanted all day.

This year, 6 spectacular shows hit the Open Storybook Puppet Theater:

  • The Wizard of Oz
  • Rabbit and Coyote are Friends?
  • Puppylocks and the Three Bears
  • Perez & Mondinga
  • Carnival of Animals
  • Magic Mushrooms


Plus! Post-show puppet playdates invite your little ones to get a puppet-palooza hands-on experience they’ll never forget! Don’t forget the free Fairyland Adventure Journal! Pick up your FREE Fairyland Adventure Journal, one per child, in our Gift Shop starting Friday, June 7! Just say the secret code: Summer Adventure Journal! Available while supplies last.
