Get ready to blow some bubbles and have a blast on Bubblegum Day! This vibrant celebration takes place on the first Friday in February. Bubblegum Day was first initiated as a fun fundraising event in schools, where students were allowed to chew gum in class in exchange for a small donation. Since then, it has rolled out across the globe and become a sugary sweet day to savor. So, pop in your favorite flavor, have a bubble blowing competition, and let's make the most of Bubblegum Day!
