They can be made from various materials, including fabric, wood, and metal, and are typically operated by puppeteers or performers. These puppets can represent characters from folklore, history, or even abstract concepts, captivating audiences with their impressive size and movement. Many cultures around the world have a tradition of using giant puppets, such as the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans or the Giant Puppet Festival in Bristol. They serve as a form of artistic expression and community engagement, bringing people together to celebrate creativity and storytelling.
