Re-inflating Summer Austin Fun with H-E-B at BubblePalooza
Picture this: it’s a warm but not-too-hot Saturday in Austin. You can feel the kiss of sunshine on your forearms, the whisper of wind passing your ear, and you look up to see the skyline is practically sparkling. From every direction you hear full belly laughs, from kids and adults, layered with the hottest tracks of the summer. Sounds nice, huh? We think so, too, but there’s a pretty important detail we left out. Ready? There are bubbles EVERYWHERE! That’s right, y’all…
BubblePalooza is back, baby!
Mark your calendars now, because September 7 isn’t a day you’ll want to miss! The cherry on top of our 2nd annual Teresa Lozano Long Community Day will be ATX’s favorite all ages event, BubblePalooza. We can’t wait to re-inflate the fun for everyone!
While Austin’s best arts & community orgs put on a show inside, the whole H-E-B Terrace and Lawn will be dedicated to all things bubbles.
Experienced Austinites already know and love BubblePalooza, but for the new folks, here’s the rundown. BubblePalooza is exactly what it sounds like—an all-out fun fest of everything bubbles. And as creative pros, our team takes the concept of “the bubble” to a whole new level. And we’re not talking about just the soapy kind.
Here are some things you can expect at BubblePalooza:
Here’s a taste of you can expect at BubblePalooza:
- Bubbly bar for the grown ups
- One of the LC’s favorite DJs, Lavender Thug
- Bubbles as art (we area performing arts center after all!)
- Everything that can be bubble-shaped will be bubble-shaped! Think balloons, bubblegum, a bubble igloo, and the like.
Other than that, our lips are sealed. You’ll just have to come see for yourself!
Most importantly, BubblePalooza is a time for all of Austin to come together and just 👏 have 👏 fun 👏. Whether you are a kid, you have a kid, or you’re more of a kid at heart, BubblePalooza is chock full of fun for everyone.
In case you’re new here, let us just say that the Long Center takes our job as a community hub pretty seriously. We prioritize free (and fun) events like The Drop-In, Community Day, and Santa on the Terrace because we know when Austin comes together, we’re all the better for it.
But ya know, free isn’t actually free, y’all. And while we think the arts are absolutely essential, we realize not every Austinite has access to awesome arts programming every day. Which is why we lean on partners like H-E-B to help make events like BubblePalooza accessible to all.

“H-E-B and the Long Center value the arts as an integral part of cultivating a vibrant community, celebrating our rich diversity, preserving our history, and shaping our future. We are thrilled about the return of BubblePalooza and look forward to welcoming the community back to the H-E-B Terrace for this beloved event.”

Let’s hear it for teamwork! When H-E-B says they care about “helping here,” they’re not messing around.
