Here's what's going on in and around Fairfield on Thursday, Aug. 8:

Summer reading finale -- Bubblemania! Celebrate the end of the Library’s annual summer reading program with Casey Carle’s Bubblemania!  This unique program combines high-energy entertainment loaded with comedy, swing music and the unbelievable magic and beauty of bubbles. The show will be held in the Roger Ludlowe Middle School auditorium on Thursday at 3 p.m. and is for children ages 5 to 10.

Author Talk with Lisa Prevost: Listen to Fairfield resident and author Lisa Prevost discuss her new book "Snob Zones: Fear, Prejudice, and Real Estate" at the Fairfield Woods Branch Library on Thursday.

Sherman Green Concert Series: This week's free concert at the Sherman Green Gazebo is "Uptown Jazz." The concert starts at 7 p.m.

Free Concert for Everyone - Country Mice: Not into jazz?Head to Westport for the Country Mice concert. Hailing from the artistic melting pot that Brooklyn is, Country Mice offers catchy tunes like the twang-infused melodies of Neil Young and Jeff Tweedy, with the guitar firepower of vintage indie rockers such as Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. See them Thursday at 7 p.m. at Westport's Levitt Pavilion.
