The play is a love story about the paths and secrets of a puppeteer. Miguelito’s first days of life are filled with imagination including a small pumpkin that is his first toy, and as he converses with it and other objects around him, the smiles lead him to realize the pumpkin is his first puppet.

This is the schedule of events:

2 to 3 p.m. Face painting, stilt walker and combo meals distribution
2:30 to 5 p.m. Carnival games
3-5 p.m.: Painting, puppetry, dance and percussion workshops
3 & 5 p.m. Performance of Peneque, Cien Por Cien Valiente (Peneque, Always Brave)
