Launched in 1989, the Summer Pier International Puppetry Festival, Maribor is an annual international puppetry festival which offers a review of recent Slovene puppet creativity activity alongside many foreign performances for both children and adults. The Summer Pier Festival collaborates with several other Slovene puppetry producers and promoters, including Fru Fru Puppet Theatre which presented Labyrinth of Moments within framework of the 2007 festival.

Previous festivals have included performers from Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Poland and Bulgaria, and also China, Brazil and Japan. A children’s jury confers the Cat in the Bag Award.

The Festival takes place in the Atrium and Knights’ Hall of Maribor Castle, at Maribor Puppet Theatre, and at the Narodni dom Maribor. Performances normally tour also to Ptuj, Lenart, Medvode, Nova Gorica, Celje and Lendava, and Slovene productions toured to Austria (Carinthia and Styria).
