Puppets, puppets everywhere!
Come and join in the world’s largest puppet party!
Sunday 6th April is Carnival Day. A free day of entertainment for all ages and all puppets at the Perth Concert Hall.
On this day the Million Puppet Project will be counted and a new Guinness World Record - The World’s Largest Puppet Display - will be set.
Celebrate and enjoy a day of discovery as you wander through a landscape of transforming balgas, Trojan kangaroos, tinkers on boab bicycles and giant creatures from the sea with Swerve.
Welcome The Puppet Caravan performers who have journeyed more than 5000 kilometres across the breadth of Australia.
A special highlight of Carnival Day is the performance of The Battle of Ichinotani by Japan’s Chiryu Karakuri Puppet Preservation Association. This will be a unique opportunity to see this ancient puppetry tale. We are honoured to welcome the Chiryu Karakuri Puppet Preservation Association to Perth for the Festival.
Make sure you bring your puppet and register it for inclusion in the count to one million.
Let the puppet making begin!
Visit the Million Puppet Project website for information and inspiration.
