south plains fair

The South Plains Fair gets started this Thursday evening beginning at 6 p.m. and will run from September 24 through October 2. Earlier in the week, I gave you a small preview of what to expect at this year's South Plains Fair, but something else was announced today. ...

I'll be out there live for opening day on Thursday, September 23rd, 2021, from 5 until 7 p.m., and I would really like to meet you.

The South Plains Fair will open its gates beginning September 23rd with Buck-A-Ride Night, where all rides cost just $1 each from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

If you've never gone to the South Plains Fair or you're just curious what it will look like this year, you've come to the right place.

There is one amenity of the fair that far exceeds the glory of even the largest vegetables and cutest baby chicks: the incredible food.

Not only is the weather cooling down and all things pumpkin spice flavored are making their return, but there are a lot of great things that you can do in Lubbock this fall.

The South Plains Fair announced on their website that there will not be any live entertainment at the coliseum during the fair this year. Last year's lack of entertainment was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I imagine this year is a similar scenario...

The familiar sight of carnival rides off the interstate in Lubbock was a welcome addition to 2020. But it almost didn't happen.

Fun is in the air now that the South Plains Fair has returned to Lubbock. And we want to help you and your family get it on that fun this week. We're giving away a South Plains Fair prize pack* that will not only save you some cash, but also provide plenty of enjoyment for your kids...

The air feels different around this time- it's picking up the electricity emitted by the lights, sounds, and energy that congregates on our fairgrounds.

There is no gate fee, no parking fee, and every ride is only $1.

This year's South Plains Fair will still start in late September, but with one major change.
