THE GIANT PUPPET AND PEOPLE MAKING MAYHEM WORKSHOPS & PARADE
Every October, WVRA hosts a series of family-friendly GIANT Puppet-Making workshops and studio sessions in Westville Village. Participants' creative efforts culminate on the Sunday morning closest to Halloween when we embark on our GIANT Puppet & People-Making-Mayhem Parade! Joined by costumed friends, neighbors and other giant puppets from around New Haven, the parade winds up at the Edgewood Park Farmers Market for one gigantic outdoor Halloween Party. Please note Puppet Master Muffy Pendergast is back to lead workshops! We will have basic materials including glue, paint, brushes, and paper mache but we recommend you bring any extra cardboard, newspaper, other arts and crafts materials you want to implement in your puppet design. Any questions please email us at wvra@westvillect.org.
WORKSHOP DATES: Saturday and Sundays 10:00am-2:00pm in October at Ranger Station in Edgewood Park
PARADE DAY: Parade on Sunday, October 27, 11:00am Meet in Front of Manjares, 838 Whalley Avenue
