FINALE PARADE WITH BREAD & PUPPET

4:15PM - END

​

This year, we’re bringing back Bread and Puppet! You asked and we wanted to deliver this amazing act to our community.

Get ready for a show featuring puppets big and small, acts serious and silly, and performances slapstick and sublime. Stilt dancers, paper maché beasts, and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.

After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
 

​

Special thank you to Friends of the Lawrence Heritage State Park, DCR, Elevated Thought, and Vibra Tours for making our Trolley and Walking Tours possible for this year's festival!
