Time is running out to take advantage of $5 presale tickets for the 2026 Lubbock Arts Festival, taking place April 18-19 at the Lubbock Civic Center. The discounted rate for adult general admission is available online only through Friday, April 17 at midnight. Beginning Saturday, April 18, adult admission will be $7, whether purchased online or at the door. Children under 12 are free with a paid adult.
Now in its 48th year, the Lubbock Arts Festival—presented by United Supermarkets—has been named the “Best in Texas” by Texas Festivals and Events Association as the best overall event in its budget category. The 2026 theme, “BLOOM!” is inspired by flowers and reflects the growth, beauty, and vitality of the arts.
With over 100 visual artists from across the country showcasing and selling original paintings, pottery, fiber art, leatherwork, jewelry, glass, and woodworking, the festival is a vibrant celebration of creativity. Guests can also explore a juried gallery of professional artwork, enjoy live artist demonstrations, and view pieces created by local school students.
Multiple performance stages will feature a variety of entertainment throughout the weekend, including actors, musicians, and dancers, offering something for audiences of all ages.
Families will love the Children’s Art Area, which features free hands-on activities that give young artists the chance to explore their creativity and make their own masterpieces.
“This is one weekend only, and we don’t want anyone to miss it,” said Elizabeth Grigsby, Executive Director of the Lubbock Arts Alliance. “The Lubbock Arts Festival is a chance to be inspired, to support artists, and to experience all kinds of creativity—from visual arts to performances—all under one roof. And for just five dollars in advance, it’s an incredible value for the whole family.”
General admission tickets are available in advance at www.LubbockArtsFestival.org or by calling (806) 770-2000.
The Lubbock Arts Festival is produced by the Lubbock Arts Alliance, a nonprofit organization committed to fostering the creation, understanding, and enjoyment of the arts.
