What is a foam party?
A foam party uses a foam cannon (or “foam pit” setup) to blanket an area in mounds of fluffy, soap-like bubbles. Kids run, dance, and bury themselves in it. It’s the ultimate way to beat a hot Knoxville summer day — think of it as a snow day in July, minus the cold. It works great for birthdays, church youth events, school field days, and neighborhood blowouts.
Is the foam safe for kids?
Yes — when it’s done with the right solution and proper supervision. The professional foam solution we use is non-toxic, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. The base ingredients are the same gentle stuff found in everyday products like baby shampoo and dish soap, without the harsh perfumes. It’s safe for kids, gentle on skin, and won’t harm your grass or pets. If a little gets in the eyes, a quick rinse with water is all it takes.
A few common-sense tips for a safe, happy foam party:
- Adult supervision the whole time — same as any pool or inflatable.
- Goggles are a nice optional add-on for kids who rub their eyes.
- Bare feet or water shoes and a quick reminder not to run on slick surfaces.
- Swimsuits + a towel — everyone gets soaked, and it’s glorious.
How a PBHR foam party works
We bring the foam machine and solution and set everything up in your yard or venue. The foam needs someone to run the cannon during the party — ask us about adding a trained attendant (available as a paid add-on) so you can relax and enjoy it. The foam itself dissipates on its own and leaves no lasting mess on grass.
Make it a full summer party
Foam pairs perfectly with the rest of a hot-weather lineup. Add a water slide rental for the older kids, or snow cone and concession machines to keep everyone fueled. Browse all our Knoxville party rentals to build the day.
