The International Puppet Arts Festival is an event full of discoveries and surprising and ingenious creations from here and abroad. There will be nearly 100 shows given indoors at venues and outdoors at the Parc de la Rivière-aux-Sables in the Jonquière district, in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. Itinerant shows, animation films, exhibitions, workshops, conferences, cabaret, exploratory area and a great show will all be on the agenda for the festival’s next edition, to be held in 2014 (the event takes place every two years).
