30‑Year Bubble Bash in Orange County

The last weekend of the year is when families in Southern California can join a long‑running bubble event at Discovery Cube Orange County. The festival has been happening for three decades and still draws crowds from nearby cities, even those who live in San Diego. Visitors enter a bright “Bubble Zone” filled with glittering bubbles that sparkle on the walls and in the air. Kids can try their hand at making bubbles while adults watch and laugh together. The highlight is a 40‑minute laser show that mixes colorful bubbles, music and bright lights.The performance explains how bubbles stay afloat, why they reflect light and what makes them glow. It is designed for people of all ages and turns science into a fun visual show. Tickets are sold separately from the entrance fee, so people must buy both to see the full experience. The event ends on Sunday evening, so families have one more chance to enjoy the spectacle before it closes. Discovery Cube Orange County is located at 2500 N Main St. in Santa Ana.
