Murals & Main
Overview
Downtown Stockton is becoming an outdoor art gallery! Join us October 19–24, 2026, for the inaugural Murals & Main, a celebration of public art, creativity and community centered on Main Street.
Throughout the week, local and visiting artists will transform downtown walls into large-scale murals inspired by Stockton’s stories, people and surroundings. Watch the artwork take shape, meet the artists and experience downtown’s historic streets from a fresh perspective.
