If you thought last year\u2019s Lubbock Light Park<\/a> was something special, just wait until you see what they\u2019ve got in store this season! The locally owned and family-run drive-through Christmas light spectacular is coming back to the South Plains Mall<\/a> (between Home Depot and the movie theater at 6002 Slide Rd) for its second season, running November 2nd through December 27th, 2025.<\/p>\n

After a wildly successful debut last year, the event\u2019s creators\u2014two local families who call Lubbock home\u2014decided to go all in for 2025. They\u2019ve expanded the show by 50%, added brand-new light scenes, and synced everything to an updated soundtrack of classic and modern holiday tunes. Think more lights, more sparkle, and a whole lot more Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n

What makes this event extra special isn\u2019t just the glow\u2014it\u2019s the heart behind it. Lubbock Light Park was founded by Zach and Grace Maldonado and their close family partners, all parents themselves who wanted to bring some hometown magic to the Hub City.<\/p>\n

Zach Maldonado said via press release:<\/p>\n

As parents ourselves, we wanted to create something magical right here in Lubbock. This year, we\u2019ve gone bigger in every way\u2014more lights, more music, more magic. It\u2019s our way of giving families a tradition they can come back to year after year.<\/p>\n

This is truly a homegrown holiday experience\u2014from Lubbock families, for Lubbock families.<\/p>\n

To skip the line and secure your spot, grab tickets online at lubbocklightpark.com<\/a>\u2014though you can still buy them at the gate if you\u2019re feeling spontaneous.<\/p>\n

A quick heads-up: vehicles under 9 feet tall and 26 feet long will fit through just fine. So, your SUV or pickup is good to go\u2014but sorry, no buses, limos, trailers, or sleighs (Santa\u2019s on his own for this one).<\/p>\n
