Sunday, March 21st, is not only the first day of spring, but we also celebrate World Puppetry Day, established by the International Union of Puppetry UNIMA for the first time in 2000. Many events are held around the world  and World Puppetry Day is currently linked in one week to World Theater Day (March 27th) and World Theater Day for Children and Youth (March 20th). This year, the author of the message is Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO. You can read her message here:
