You don’t have to tell me the 4th of July is a big deal in Lubbock—I see and hear it every year.
As a fireworks lover, I find the rules around here a bit nonsensical—but necessary. Fireworks are only available during certain windows, and honestly, that’s a good thing. Restraint isn’t exactly Lubbock’s strong suit.
Fireworks are technically banned within city limits. That doesn’t mean folks follow the rule. In fact, Lubbock gets so chaotic with fireworks that it feels like officials have just thrown up their hands and accepted it…
