I have compiled a list of Halloween events that is beyond compare!
Who says “Nuthin’ happens in Lubbock”? There are so many things happening this week that it’s hard to keep up with.
There’s everything on here from movies, to sewing, to haunted houses and more.
Before we get to it, a disclaimer. These are things that came up in a search, it may not be complete, and it may not be 100% accurate. Some of these things may also be for a specific audience or group that may not be open to the public. Before you head out to any of these events I would check the appropriate Facebook or Web page.
