The City of Lubbock's offices will be closed to mark Good Friday, with normal operations resuming on April 1st.

As the holiday approaches, towns like St David's are gearing up for unique events. Roads in St David's will be closed to accommodate exciting go-kart, bicycle, and motor go-kart races organized by the St David's Cricket Club. The races promise a day of high-speed entertainment, bringing the community together in a thrilling celebration of Good Friday.
