Bergara will host the 18th edition of the International Puppet Festival from October 2nd to 4th. The festival will integrate international theater companies, tradition, and inclusive social projects across various local venues.

Organized by Taun Taun Teatro, the event began its journey in 1991. This year's program includes large-format street theater, circus, and object theater, building on the loyalty of the local audience.
Highlights include a four-meter articulated colossus presented by LA FAM Teatre in the streets. Additionally, Olaso Tower will host an inclusive creative experience developed in collaboration with various local associations.
Social commitment will be centered at the Kartzela Zaharra (Old Prison). There, the Palestinian group Tantura will provide talks and demonstrations on how puppets serve as tools for resistance, education, and the protection of cultural identity.
