29º Festival Marionetas na Cidade
03 Oct 2026 - 11 Oct 2026
Alcobaça, Portugal
The Marionetas na Cidade festival had its first edition in 1998 and is known as the national puppet festival due to its program featuring mostly national productions, both from established companies and a strong demand for emerging projects. Each edition includes a specific program for school groups and another for the general public. Exhibitions, colloquiums, publications, films, and urban interventions are the hallmark of this event. All activities revolve around the theme of puppetry, thus highlighting this art form from tradition to contemporary times. There is a strong connection with the local and regional community, both in industry and traditional commerce.
