Mississauga theatre company hosting unique online festival

We might not be able to enjoy in-person festivals just yet, but a Mississauga theatre company is doing its part to keep people entertained amid the ongoing lockdown.
Crane Creations, which launched the first-ever puppetry-focused Bridges Festival right as COVID shut down the world in 2020, is hosting its second annual festival this year.
The festival, which will run from March 13-15, is an international puppetry and animation festival that takes place in Mississauga. Each year, Crane Creations Theatre Company selects shows and activities for families to enjoy and brings well-known artists right to theatres in Mississauga.
This year, the festival is taking place online and all activities are free.
