The Best New Kids Party Trend: Foam Party All Stars

Everything You Need to Know About Foam Parties

By Erica Alhorn May 20, 2023

Looking for a unique party idea? You've already done all the trampoline parks, seen all the magicians, and painted all the things. Want to stand out and make your child's party the one that EVERYONE will be talking about? 

The newest party trend is here. Foam Party All Stars has announced it is now open for bookings with dates between May and September 2023 in a wide radius around the Western Suburbs. 

A mobile party service dedicated to bringing the fun of foam to suburbs across Illinois, this family-friendly troupe provides trained party leaders. Using state-of-the-art foam cannon machines, they can create mountains of biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, and dye-free bubbles that partygoers of all ages can enjoy. 

Interactive Amusement for All the Senses  

As the name suggests, Foam Party All Stars is all about providing good, clean fun without the hassle of a complicated event setup and dismantling process. With party leaders overseeing every aspect, from arranging foam cannons to playing music through a high-quality speaker system, partygoers and chaperones alike can sit back and simply enjoy the show—no cleanup required. 

The mobile service is available for a variety of private parties, including (but not limited to): 

  • Birthday celebrations 
  • Summer camps 
  • Community festivals
  • School events  
  • Library summer reading kickoffs 
  • Church festivals 
  • Block parties 
  • Graduations 
  • Gender reveals (blue and pink foam is available) 
  • Nighttime parties (glow-in-the-dark UV foam is available)

What You Need to Know about Foam Parties

  • Is the foam safe?
    • Yes! It is biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, and dye-free. It is safe for babies, pets, and the environment.
  • What should the kids wear?
    • Wear something that you don't mind getting wet in. A bathing suit works. Or just shorts and a t-shirt. Goggles are also a good idea.
  • What is the clean-up like?
    • The foam will naturally dissipate within an hour after the foam cannon stops. Feel free to wash down the area with normal water. 
  • Will it damage my yard?
    • Generally for a one hour foam party we do not see any damage to grass. Most private foam parties are for one hour. For foam parties closer to two hours, it is not recommended to use a grass surface due to the potential of making the area temporarily muddy due to the combination of lots of foam/water and kids moving around on the area. Driveway is a great option for longer foam parties!
  • What do I need to set up? 
    • A water source within 100 feet of the foam cannons 
    • A grounded 3-prong outlet within 100 feet of the foam cannons 
    • A 20’ x 20’ outdoor space minimum, including grass, pavement, driveways, and other unobstructed areas
