WHAT A SPOOKTACULAR NIGHT, LUFKIN!

That’s a wrap on Lufkin’s Boo Bash on the Plaza 2026, and what an incredible evening it was!

Seeing all the creative costumes, smiling faces, and families enjoying Halloween together made tonight so special!

A HUGE thank-you to every business, nonprofit, school, church, club, and community organization that showed up with candy, decorations, and plenty of Halloween spirit. Your generosity and participation are what make this event possible!

We also want to thank our friends at the Museum of East Texas for sharing the plaza with us and hosting their wonderful Halloween activities, including pumpkin decorating made possible by their pumpkin sponsor, Brookshire Brothers!

And to all the families who joined us tonight, THANK YOU! We loved celebrating Halloween with you!

Take a look at some of our favorite moments from tonight! Did you spot your little ghost, goblin, superhero, or princess?

We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Happy Halloween, Lufkin!
