📅 Sunday, Sept 28
📍 Across from Patterson Park (outside St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church)
🕔 2:30-3 sharp; be on time, it’s a flash mob!
💸 Free to attend. Donations to support future joy projects are warmly welcomed

For the 9th year in a row, we’re filling Baltimore with bubbles, but with a brand new twist. 🫧

This year, we’re going flash mob style! 🪩 Instead of marching a long parade route, we’ll stand together in one place and unleash a massive wave of bubbles, music, and dancing, surprising everyone around us with a joyful spectacle. 🤸‍♀️ Think of it as a 30-minute burst of merriment, childlike wonder, and radical kindness. 🌈

We’ll gather outside the church ⛪ (Ukrainian Festival nearby!), across from Patterson Park, so both the festival crowd, street traffic, and park goers get to witness the joy eruption.

🫧 WHY WE DO IT 🫧
🩷 Because joy is contagious. Because kindness is radical. Because bubbles belong to everyone. This is about showing up together to spark wonder and leave strangers saying: “What WAS that?!”
💛 Let’s prove that it’s EASY to spread love, and that a wave of joy can change the energy of a whole city block.
