Nothing’s better than those big, beautiful, rainbow-catching spheres of wonder: bubbles. “Bubbleologist” Geoff Akins goes beyond the classic shape, creating fantastical phenomenons like a bubble volcano, bubble merry-go-round and even a dancing bubble. This is one event all ages can enjoy, and it’s the perfect way to celebrate National Bubbles Week. Free. 1–2 p.m. Valley Creek A & B, Central Park, 8595 Central Park Place; 651.731.1320; co.washington.mn.us.
