The 4th of July in Lubbock: Wild, Loud, and Totally Us [Memes]

The 4th of July in Lubbock has always been eventful. We’ve had big, bold, and beautiful celebrations—and low moments like brawls in the streets.

Who am I to criticize how Lubbock celebrates the 4th? I wasn’t responsible, but I was very much involved in promoting and hosting a giant fireworks display that exploded about thirty seconds in at a Lubbock waterpark. In other words, I’ve seen things!

I don’t know about your neighborhood, but I live across from the Lubbock Business Park, and I guess everyone over there thinks it’s "close enough" to go ahead and set off fireworks there. Again, I was involved in tomfoolery involving Roman candles strapped to trailer hitches.

So let’s just say that most—but not all—of the shenanigans referenced are maybe not okay, but understandable. People get wild when it comes to the 4th of July.

This brings us to the upcoming selection of memes. I put this collection of memes together several years ago, but they remain relevant today.

As a refresher, if you remember, in 2022 we had a brawl break out at the parade over the candy being thrown in the streets. It also seemed like fireworks usage in town was at an all-time high that year.
