Mississippi Puppetry Guild was established in 1981 to promote puppetry as an art form, sponsor workshops and festivals, and present excellent examples of professional puppetry to Mississippi. The Guild dedicates its programs to developing puppetry arts in Mississippi and offers free advice and technical expertise to individual puppeteers and puppetry groups around the state.

Annual Highlights include the Puppetry Jam each spring at the Mississippi Agriculture Museum, a Black History Month Celebration, a summer fun series, and holiday programs.
