Lubbock Last-Minute Plans: Alien Party, Anime Pop Stop, and More

With slightly less-hot weather this weekend, it’s a great chance to get out of the house and see what is going on in Lubbock. If you aren’t sure what you want to do, here are a couple of events happening in the Hub City on August 19th and 20th.

Lubbock Lights Alien Party:

Two Docs Brewing Co. Is celebrating the anniversary of the 'Lubbock Lights’ incident with an evening of glow sticks, beer, live music, and fun.
