Where did it all begin?
The Bubble Fest was founded in 2024 by bethany carpenter - a bubble lover of many, many years! After hosting several festivals around wilmington, north carolina for years, and incorporating bubbles into each event, she decided to dedicate one incredible festival to the love for bubbles that she and so many others had. The first event was hosting in wilmington and was an incredible success - having been attended by thousands of bubble-lovin’ kids, adults and pups.
It was on that day that bethany realized exactly how much love those around her also had for bubbles and decided she wanted to host a festival dedicated to that appreciation for bubbles in other North carolina cities. In 2025, the bubble fest will be expanding to raleigh and asheville - with hopes to continually spread the bubble love in years to come!
What’s a day at the bubble fest look like?
at the bubble festival, we strive to have bubbles flowing throughout the entire outdoor space. We partner with incredibly talented bubble artists, which you may see walking around displaying their expertise. If you’re interested in having your own bubble accessories to enjoy during the festival, merch tables will be set up throughout with bubble wands, bubble blowers and more!
