Cereal Saturdays

Cereal Saturdays returns to the Center for Puppetry Arts on Saturday, November 21, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. It's a monthly gathering that invites you to revisit puppet TV shows from the past in a laid-back, living-room-like setting. The museum describes it as a "Saturday Morning Cartoons get-together but with puppets," so the vibe is more about hanging out and remembering old favorites than sitting through a formal program.

It's a good excuse to spend a morning at the Center, which houses the Jim Henson Collection—the world's largest collection of Jim Henson's puppets and props. Beyond that, the museum holds a global collection of puppetry performance traditions and hosts special exhibitions, like Frame by Frame: The Art of Stop-Motion Animation. If you're already planning to spend the day there, this fits right in. Cereal, milk, juice, and coffee are available for purchase, so you can lean into the Saturday morning cartoon energy for real.

Logistically, it's easy to work around. The gathering happens on the third Saturday of every month, and this session runs from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM at 1404 Spring St NW in Atlanta. Admission is included with regular entry to the Museum Collections or any performance ticket, and it's free for members.
