Continuing a decade-long tradition, the annual Giant Puppet Parade is set to kick off this weekend in Siem Reap on Saturday. This year, the parade organisers have teamed up with the ChubMet Music and Arts Festival for a fuller celebration of Cambodian arts.

 

This year’s theme is the film industry and folk tales in film, as well as the usual Chinese-Khmer New Year motif and this year’s animal, the Rooster.

 

The puppets were built over the course of a month by alumni of Phare Ponleu Selpak. Some 500 children from various NGO-schools also helped out in the workshop for two days and will have the chance to march alongside with their artwork.
