Citywide Back-2-School Bash Returns Saturday, August 1

The City of Lubbock and Texas Tech University have partnered again for the enormous 2026 Citywide Back-2-School Bash, providing essential support for families across the South Plains. The event runs from 10 AM to 2 PM. It's located right off Mac Davis Lane, a familiar drive near the Tech campus. Families can line up for these items-clear backpacks are a common school requirement-plus vital classroom staples like pencils and notebooks. Kids must be physically present to pick up their gear; distribution is strictly first-come, first-served until supplies run out.
