The annual Lufkin's Bistro is one of East Texas's hottest tickets. The event is held every fall in Downtown Lufkin, and it's not uncommon for the tickets and tables to sell out within a day or two of going on sale.

The 2025 Lufkin's Bistro will take place on Saturday, October 4, from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. on South First Street. This upscale culinary experience is for those 21 and over only.

The History of Lufkin's Bistro

Since 2010, Lufkin’s Bistro has been a celebration of community, culinary talent, and great company. This year’s event promises another elevated experience in a festive, walkable setting.
“Lufkin’s Bistro brings the community together in such a special way,” says Natalie Howard, Event Coordinator for Visit Lufkin. “It’s elegant but relaxed, a night to mingle, explore, and enjoy everything we love about our local food and culture.”

Ticket Information for Lufkin's Bistro

Tickets will go on sale at midnight on Monday, August 4. Given the huge popularity of the event, who's to say how quickly tickets will sell out this year? You may want to consider setting an alarm for late Sunday night to secure your tickets.

Tables and general admission spots will be available exclusively through the Visit Lufkin website. The cost of the tickets has not yet been released.
