We often associate radiant iridescence with sunlight, for sunlight has succeeded in the rainbow-making business, with breath-taking results, for eons.
But iridescent experiences can ethereally occur at night, a fact that anyone who has ever scrubbed a stack of dinner dishes over a soapy sink knows. Bubbles float around the kitchen, reminding us that shimmering sights don't always require the sun as a source.
Bubblefest is one of the most prominent places to admire the art of bubbledom, at least outside of your own kitchen and its soap-filled sink.

The annual event, which colorfully coincides with spring break, is a Discovery Cube OC tradition that draws many returning families.
And while Bubblefest takes place in the daytime, there are a couple of evening events that treat us to some iridescent splendor after the museum has closed.
These happenings are dubbed Bubblefest Family Nights, and they're ready to float on March 29 and April 5.
