Lubbock Light Park Is Moving to Arlington

The Light Park has been sold to Frostival at Howell Family Farms, which is a walk-through Christmas park located in Arlington, Texas. It appears Frostival will incorporate the many Christmas lights from Lubbock Light Park into their event.

Lubbock Light Park Was Becoming a Christmas Tradition

Commenters on the post expressed gratitude for the event, which was becoming a tradition for families over the last couple of years here in Lubbock.

Awww…I’m so sad to hear this! Y’all brought something wonderful to Lubbock, that we needed! We really enjoyed having this as part of our Christmas! You will be greatly missed

I still remember wrapping up my workdays at Dillard's. My husband and daughter would be waiting in the parking lot to pick me up, and that beautiful light show setup always made our nights brighter.. but I am glad now we are here near Arlington and you will be here too
