The NOGPF featured in the Puppetry Journal
The NOGPF is featured in the most recent publication from the Puppetry Journal!
The New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival is proud to be featured in the pages of the most recent publication of the Puppetry Journal. We would also like to make a small amendment to the text. The acronym for The New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival is NOGPF. NOLA is the acronym for our city- New Orleans, LA. While the life and culture of New Orleans is essential to the vibrancy and longevity of The New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival, we do well not to mistake the two. We are in every moment grateful to NOLA for taking The NOGPF in and allowing us to flourish.
