Halloween Happenings in Stockton, California

October 12, 2026

As we get closer to All Hallows' Eve, more events of the spooky variety pop up in our city.

The Rules of Halloween:

Always wear a costume.
Always hand out candy.
Never extinguish the flame of a jack-o'-lantern before midnight.
Respect the dead.
