How Puppet Festival Mississauga Began
Bridges Puppet Festival Poster 2020
Puppet Festival Mississauga, originally known as Bridges Festival, made its debut on March 13, 2020. As the pandemic hit, the festival was forced to adapt quickly, transitioning to online events to continue bringing puppetry to audiences. Despite the challenges, the festival has grown stronger each year, returning to in-person events in 2022 and expanding its reach in 2023 under its new name, Puppet Festival Mississauga.
