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.

New for 2026! For the first time at Puppet Fair, take a tour of the historic Storybook Puppet Theater and peek behind the curtain of the nation’s oldest continuously running puppet theater.

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.
