About Lubbock, Texas
Lubbock is a city in the U.S. state of Texas and the county seat of Lubbock County. In 1867, the land that would become Lubbock was the heart of Comancheria, the shifting domain controlled by the Comanche. Every year on July 4, Lubbock hosts the 4th on Broadway event, an Independence Day festival. The event is free to the public, and is considered the largest free festival in Texas. (Wikipedia)
