Street Creature Puppet Collective Create things you wish existed! That is our motto at the Puppet Clubhouse. We welcome the community! We are primarily volunteers, doing fun stuff all year round.

Street Creature makes giant puppets and lanterns and performs with them for parades and festivals around Western NC. We also love to help individuals and community groups make their own giant puppets and lantern parades. Please support us on Patreon if you can: https://www.patreon.com/streetcreaturepuppetcollective

Street Creature meets every Wednesday evening at our Puppet Clubhouse at the Asheville Mall—unless it's a major holiday or the weather is really bad. Drop-in visitors are welcome between 7 and 8:30 pm. 3 Tunnel Rd., DM for directions (it's a little hard to find).

Our first Street Creature wedding pop up! We had such fun bringing surprises and delights to Nora and Aaron’s special day. It started with a crafting session, making butterfly puppets with guests on Friday. On Saturday we greeted family and friends with creatures great and small. After the ceremony we led the procession to the reception hall. When the sun went down the lantern animals came out to play. Magic!
