Collins Court will be transformed into a sparkling, playful, bubble-filled wonderland for young people and their families.

This FREE event will include swirling clouds of bubbles, an original lush soundtrack by some of Hobart's most loved musicians, and hands-on bubble-inspired activities led by local artists.

All children require adult supervision at all times.
