New Westminster’s Tipperary Park is about to get splashed with color — and you’re invited! On August 21 at 5 PM, the New West Farmers Market transforms into a vibrant playground for Bubble Fight Club’s Paint n’ Sip night. This isn’t your typical art class — instead of brushes, you’ll be painting with soap bubbles, creating swirling, unpredictable bursts of color on your canvas.

As the sun sets, enjoy a relaxed evening under the trees, sipping refreshing non-alcoholic beverages from local market vendors while chatting with fellow creators. No art skills? No problem. This event is all about fun, laughter, and letting go of perfection. All supplies are included, and the only thing you need to bring is your imagination (and maybe an old shirt you don’t mind getting splattered).

Whether you’re coming solo, on a date, or with a group of friends, this bubbly blend of art, music, and community spirit promises to leave you smiling — and maybe just a little paint-covered.

📍 Where: Tipperary Park, New Westminster — New West Farmers Market
🗓 When: Wednesday, August 21 at 5 PM
