Fronda

Meet “Fronda”! Crafted by the creative team at @Leroysplace, Fronda is a 15’ tall swamp monster puppet built from reclaimed and recycled mateirals. Inspired by the larger than life traditions of Mardi Gras and techniques of parade puppetry, Fronda is activated by 3 puppeteers bringing her ‘sparkling personality’ to life. Come visit Fronda on festival grounds for a photo-op, and even get a chance to try puppeteering her! Fronda is so excited to travel from her swampy home in New Orleans to the Bayou Bon Vivant Festival! Don’t miss her in action!
