Puppet Parade And Performance

Join puppeteers, artists and musicians for Barrydale’s Giant Puppet Parade on Sunday the 18th of December. Starting on the banks of the Klein Huis Rivier on Tinley Street, and ending at BF Oosthuizen Primary School, the parade culminates in a magnificent performance showcasing the giant puppets. Barrydales’s Net vir Pret, headed by Peter Takelo, facilitates an intern programme, a young leaders facilitation programme and also works with staff members, interns, performers and puppeteers from Barrydale who’ve been training through the process of the parade and production for many years.
