60 countries. 125 cities. The world’s biggest celebration of happiness is happening right here in Baltimore!

Celebrating Global Bubble Parade, Baltimore’s Bubble Parade is this Sunday Jul 8 at 1 p.m. The parade will begin at the Skate Park in Hampden (West 36^th Street and Falls) and will continue down 36^th Street to Beech Street to 40^th Street and 41^st Street, then to Buena Vista and back to the starting point.

This year’s theme is Colors and Bubbles. So dress as bright, loud and sparkly as you can. And don’t forget the bubbles! Any mode of making bubbles is acceptable. For maximum bubble output, bubble guns are highly recommended.

All ages are welcome. You can even bring your dog! The only rules are to be silly, have fun and show your happiness!

Donations are greatly appreciated to help supply bubbles, wands, trays, etc. for those who need some extra bubble help. You can make donations online at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=IBD_BMfxhVUFh29jM8Ofzm1VCy5yyaAyhkCUwASh6OGSFuBaPEM-ASaSXgfYiHKZ6_lhTW&country.x=US&locale.x=US.
