Seattle Community Puppet Day

Join us in Columbia City for SCPD!

Whether you’re a lifelong puppet aficionado or just curious about these charming, hand-crafted wonders, you’re in for a treat! Our vibrant Seattle community is coming together to celebrate the magic of puppetry with a day full of spectacular performances, interactive workshops, and endless fun for the whole family.
Join us as we bring stories to life with everything from cheeky marionettes to dazzling shadow puppets. Feel the excitement as we offer special Jim Henson legacy programming, and immerse yourself in the playful, imaginative spirit that only puppetry can offer.

Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and prepare to be enchanted. Seattle Community Puppet Day is your chance to experience the joy, creativity, and community that makes our city so special.

All events are free and open to the public!
