The 3rd International Puppet Fringe Festival Starts Today!
This likely isn’t news to the big puppet fans out there, but, today marks the beginning of the Third International Puppet Fringe Festival! This year’s theme is “Halloween in August”. We are very into it 🎃
Following the sensational success of the 2021 and 2018 festivals, and the inaugural Puppet Week NYC, Puppet Fringe 2023 will honor rich puppetry traditions and talented puppeteers, including an award for the founder of the Village Halloween Parade, Ralph Lee. Lee is known for his visionary, surreal, life-sized puppets that have become a feature of New York City’s parades, theaters, and public celebrations. In honor of Lee’s vast contributions to the puppetry arts, the 2023 Puppet Fringe Festival theme will be “Halloween in August,” featuring spooky and silly puppets that celebrate this beloved holiday.
