About the Series
As the summer event season approaches, the Somerville Arts Council is launching yet another city wide event series that will take place throughout Somerville. Events such as PorchFEST, Dancing in the Streets, and PuppetPalooza allows the community to participate, interact, and engage in non-traditional ways while cultivating the idea of Somerville as a cultural arts incubator without walls.

Puppet Palooza is a collaboration between the Somerville Arts Council and East Somerville Main Streets as part of the This is East programming--an event series designed to bring the art of puppetry to east Somervillein unexpected places. Join us in East Somerville for a three-part puppetry extravaganza. This May & June, we’ll hit the streets, courtyards and parks, showcasing local, national, and international performing companies. Great for kids and adults and 100% free.
