Ames Puppet Power Community Parade

Bring your puppet to life in a joyful community parade! Whether you built your puppet at the October 4 workshop at the Ames Public Library, at the Octagon Art Festival, or created your own at home, you're invited to join families, artists, and puppet enthusiasts in a colorful procession through Bandshell Park.

We’ll gather at the Ames Public Library at 10 AM, then parade together to Bandshell Park in a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the magic of puppetry in communities. This whimsical event is part of Puppet Power 2025: Applied Puppetry Conference.


Presented in partnership with ISU Department of Music and Theatre, Ames Public Library, and Octagon Center for the Arts.
