If you were a fan of the family-friendly downtown Lufkin trick-or-treat, something new has evolved from that event. The new event had a hiccup in 2022 and was canceled due to a severe thunderstorm and a torrential downpour.

Because of that, last year was the first year for the new Boo Bash on The Plaza, and everyone had rave reviews about this new way to celebrate Halloween in Lufkin. Get those costumes ready now so you don't miss all the fun.
