The Twelfth Annual New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival

(April 9th-13th, 2026)

We support excellence in puppetry arts by presenting local, national and international artists selected for their diversity and ingenuity to the New Orleans Community and beyond. We imagine hope in the form of new stories through offering performance, education, and collaboration. Our Festival invites this prospect to the world.

The 12th Annual New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival Box Office will open March 1st. Early Bird Festival Pass rate will increase to the standard rate of $150 for an All Festival Performance Pass.
