World Puppetry Day is celebrated every year on March 21 to promote and preserve the traditional art of puppetry across the world. Initiated in 2003 by UNIMA (Union Internationale de la Marionnette), the day highlights puppetry as an important cultural and educational tool. It encourages artists and communities to engage in performances, workshops, and exhibitions that showcase diverse puppetry styles. The celebration also emphasizes the role of puppetry in storytelling, spreading social awareness, and educating audiences, especially children, by simplifying complex ideas through creative expression and performance arts.
