International Puppet Theatre Festival 2026
International Puppet Theatre Festival 2026 takes place in Jerusalem from 16 to 20 August at תיאטרון הקרון.
Five days of puppetry from around the world at the Train Theater and the Bell Garden, most of it outdoors and much of it wordless — the easiest festival here to attend without Hebrew.
