The Long Center has decided to postpone Bubblepalooza until July 16 because of expected bad weather this weekend. It was originally supposed to be Saturday.
On this first weekend of summer break, there are still many things for families to do. Many are indoors, but for the ones that are outdoors, check the website in advance to make sure it’s still happening if the rain does come.
