PHOTO ESSAY: Puppets and political commentary at FestiFools 2025 We asked puppet-masters, community members, and other participants about their FestiFools experience.

Some of the many faces of Ann Arbor’s annual #FestiFools. This year’s event took on darker political undertones, with puppets built to resemble Trump, Musk, and others. “We feel like we're the musicians on the Titanic, you know?" says founder Mark Tucker.

🎏✨️ We had fun last night at #FoolMoon in #AnnArbor, and ran into our indefatigable Congresswoman, @debbiedingell.house.gov! Looking forward to #FestiFools tomorrow, downtown, 4-5pm 😁
