Lubbock’s Talented Students Join the Celebration

For the first time ever, culinary and floral teams from three local school districts — Lubbock ISD, Lubbock-Cooper ISD, and Frenship ISD — will take center stage at the expo. These talented students will showcase their creativity and skills through custom tablescapes, delicious recipes, and festive décor ideas, all designed to make holiday hosting easier (and a whole lot more fun).

Guests can browse through Market Street’s aisles and sample stations while stopping by each student team’s display. From artisanal breads and handcrafted party trays to holiday-inspired baked goods and signature treats, this year’s event promises to be the biggest and tastiest one yet.

Samples, Prizes, and Holiday Inspiration

Guests will be treated to delicious samples, including Chantilly Cake, Butter Pecan Cheese Balls, and Sausage Balls, among other seasonal bites. Plus, everyone who attends will have the chance to win a $250 Market Street gift card — perfect for jumpstarting those holiday shopping lists.
