Luling Alleged Chisme

Anyone lose POWER in Luling 🚨

Thump Week will be here before you know it!! Our phones have already been ringing off the hook and will only get busier next week. So, in an effort to answer questions quicker and more efficiently, here are ones we at the Chamber get the most: June 25 - 28, 2026

12 & Under are Always Free!
Thursday & Sunday are Always FREE!
Friday is $5 for Entry & Beer Garden Stage or $50 for the Concert at Main Stage.
Saturday is $5 for Entry & Beer Garden Stage or $50 for the Concert at Main Stage.

Pro Tips:
* If you are attending Thump Friday and Saturday, purchase a button for $7 and save $3 at the Entry Gate for Both Days!
*If you're going to the concert, purchase your tickets online early, and your ticket includes the $5 Entry. Just have your Ticket or Phone out and ready to show at the gates.

BUTTONS:
The cost is $7 per button and available at all of our Local Banks!
Pro Tip: DON'T WAIT! Buttons Sell OUT! Get yours now! Once they're gone, they're gone.

PARADE:
Saturday starts at 10am. We have attached a picture of the route below.
Pro Tips: Set up some chairs a little early, have someone drop you off and pick you up to help ease traffic and congestion by only having one car instead of multiple. Bring plenty of water, umbrellas and take lots of pictures to share with us on social media. 📸
Sign-ups are DUE by June 19th! https://bit.ly/Thump-Parade

CARNIVAL Bands:
The prices for these are set by the carnival, not Thump, and frustratingly they wait until closer to Thump to give us the prices. We will update and post when we know more.
