Boston Bubble Festival Is Back Saturday

BOSTON, MA — Looking for something to do with the kids on Saturday? Or, need a smile? The Bubble Festival is back. Saturday, May 11, head to the Boston Common and you will find bubbles, and where you find bubbles you'll find a lot of happy people.

This year's festival will be complete with giant floating bubble demonstrations and giveaways. There will also be a DJ, a stilt walker and a demonstration from the Boston Water and Sewer Commission, according to the city.

The event is presented by the city's Boston Parks and Recreation Department. Sponsors include Uncle Bubble, HP Hood, “A Dog’s Journey” in theaters May 17, “Spirit Riding Free” and “She-Ra and the Princesses Of Power” now streaming on Netflix, and partners Country 102.5, Ameriprise Financial, KIND Snacks, Polar Beverages, Power Crunch nutrition bars and “Bubble Guy” Jim Dichter.

It will begin at 11 a.m. and go until the last bubble pops at 1 p.m.

The first Bubble Festival was in 2016 and was inspired by the Bubble Guy's presentations at Parks Department children’s events.

The event is weather permitting but Saturday is slated to be cloudy with a high of 68 in Boston, so bring on the bubbles.
