In the central part of the city is the Puppet Theater of Varna and the adjacent Puppet Museum which is one of its kind on the Balkan Peninsula. It is open all-year-round from 10.00 until 17.00 h. A guide-animator will take you to the fairy-tale world of lights and shadows, fifty years of creative work bringing both joy and tears and rewarded with the dearest prize – the shining eyes, smiles and the love of old and young. At the Puppet Theater in Varna you can get information about the International Puppet Festival "Golden Dolphin", established in 1972. It takes place from 1 – 6 October every three years. The festival is a competition. In 2005 the third festival will take place.
