About Lubbock County Fair

The Lubbock County Fair is a week-long August fair on the South Plains, serving the cotton-farming and university communities of Lubbock — the "Hub City" of West Texas and home to Texas Tech University, the Buddy Holly story, and the world's most productive dryland cotton fields.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions from South Plains agricultural families, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, demolition derby, and a fair midway serving one of West Texas's largest cities.

Visitor Tips

Lubbock is the birthplace of Buddy Holly — the Buddy Holly Center and Walk of Fame, Texas Tech University's impressive campus and museums, the National Ranching Heritage Center, and the Llano Estacado winery trail make Lubbock far more than a cotton town.
