“Hub City” Happenings: June

June Hub City Happenings

A visit to Lubbock during the first of the month is not complete without stopping by the First Friday Art Trail (FFAT), a program of LHUCA. FFAT is a free, self-guided art tour held in the Lubbock Cultural District in partnership with a variety of art centers, museums, galleries, and businesses located downtown. While there, enjoy live music, food trucks, and art from local, national, and international artists.

Yappy Hour is back at Cotton Court Hotel and the Midnight Shift & Bar. Bring you fur-babies for pet-friendly treats and adult specialty drinks in the courtyard. A portion of proceeds will go to Haven Animal Care Shelter.

Western art and gear collectors will have an opportunity to purchase new art pieces and meet the contributing artists and craftsmen at the Summer Stampede Western Art and Gear Show from 6 – 11 p.m. at the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC).

History comes to life at the Ranch every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Ranch host volunteers will be in the historical park to answer questions, perform living history demonstrations, and give tours of selected structures. Check out the National Ranching Heritage Center Facebook page to stay up to date on what’s happening each Saturday.

Corb Lund has received multiple CCMA, Juno, and international award nominations and wins. A rural Albertan hailing from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a long family lineage of ranchers and rodeo people, Lund is embracing both his Western heritage and his indie rock past through his music. Lund has been known to filter a range of cowboy themes past and present through his unique lens – from rough-and-tumble tales of lawless frontier saloons to the somber realities of running a modern family ranch.

Known as the King of Tex-Mex rock and roll, Joe “King” Carrasco, creates a stylistic borderland of pop rock and Latin rhythms. His cross-cultural stew blends cumbias, vamp, salsa, surf, reggae, blues, and Latin-tinged polkas.
