Arts & Entertainment
Stockton. Stocked Full of Arts.
Since its early beginnings, Stockton has been a home to varying forms of arts and entertainment.
From Stockton's first motion picture theaters to pop up to the city once being well known as "Hollywood North," art has thrived here in Brick City.
A city whose resume includes being the filming site for Cool Hand Luke, Fat City, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, "Mudville" also houses classic theatre productions, stunning cultural paintings, and beautiful street art throughout our city.
Fill your days with art and your evenings with music, theatre, and more. It’s all a part of the Stockton, California entertainment scene. From the historic Bob Hope Theatre to the world-class Haggin Museum, culture abounds in this seaport town.
