George Strait is bringing two major concerts to Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas on April 24 and 25, 2026.

A second show was added for April 24 due to overwhelming fan demand, joining the already scheduled April 25 performance.

Opening acts will include Zach Top and Dylan Gossett on Friday, while Miranda Lambert and Hudson Westbrook take the stage Saturday.

Pre-sale tickets launched November 17, 2025, for fan club members and select groups.

General ticket sales open November 21 at 10 a.m. CST, and fans can secure pre-sale codes by scanning QR signs at United Supermarkets, Market Street, or Amigos in Lubbock.

High demand means tickets sold out fast........

The Junior League of Lubbock will celebrate its 45th Annual Holiday Happening from November 19 to 23, 2025, at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

This beloved tradition signals the start of the holiday season, featuring vibrant shopping, lively entertainment, and community spirit.

Shoppers can browse more than 130 vendors in Market Hall, perfect for discovering unique gifts and festive essentials.

Special experiences include an early Sneak Peek with live jazz, Thursday’s Ladies’ Day highlighted by a catered lunch and style show, and Friday Night Out with specialty bites and drinks.

Families can enjoy Breakfast and Brunch with Santa, each featuring live performances and magical moments with Santa Claus.

Proceeds from Holiday Happening benefit impactful Junior League projects and grants, directly supporting the South Plains community.

This joyful event offers Lubbock families a festive launch to the season—all with a heart for giving back.

The Reserve Culinary Tavern stands out as a local favorite in Lubbock, serving inventive dishes with a signature West Texas touch.

Located at 10305 Quaker Avenue, this tavern is locally owned and highlights regional flavors, Texas beers, and a neighborly vibe.

From lively happy hours to date nights, guests enjoy an elevated menu alongside expertly mixed specialty cocktails or craft beers on tap.

Willie’s Pie of the Day is always a hit — available by the slice or whole pie for the table.

Sports fans can cheer on Texas Tech while sampling the food menu that shines with local ingredients.

The Reserve recently expanded to offer weekend brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring a range of salads, burgers, tacos, and more.

Blending great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, The Reserve promises a memorable Lubbock dining experience.
