OH WHAT FUN!  Historically in November, Lubbock and the surrounding communities have kicked off the holiday season with the Junior League of Lubbock. That’s 41 years of shopping, smiles, fun and festivities. This year we hope to celebrate with each of you.

While the shopping and fun are a key part of Holiday Happening, it is about so much more! It’s about raising money to give back to the local community. Over the years, Holiday Happening has raised more than $7 million directly benefitting the South Plains through our own projects, such as South Plains Food2Kids, Kids in the Kitchen and SPARK. Holiday Happening funds have also supported local agencies including Hope Lodge, Ronald McDonald House, and the Children’s Advocacy Center.

As we celebrate the start of the holiday season, we look forward to sharing it with you while we reflect on our past and continue to find new ways to welcome in the holiday season.

Join us for the 42nd annual Holiday Happening — OH WHAT FUN!

Tickets may be purchased at the Civic Center
