Intro

❄️We all know it’s never too early to start shopping for those Christmas gifts. Downtown Stockton is ready to announce that this year we are celebrating Christmas in July. Not just for one day but three and it is FREE admission to attend!

What’s Happening

This year’s event will be taking place at the Mexican Heritage Center in Downtown Stockton California. There will be live music, delicious foods and drinks, a variety of vendors, paintings and art, unique gifts, collectable items, and so much more! This year they are featuring artwork made by Albino Perez from Guatemala. 

According to Gracie Madrid, Executive Director of the Mexican Heritage Center & Gallery, this event was started because, “People thought it would be fun to celebrate Christmas in July.”

Why You Should Come

Madrid shared that most Christmas in July attendees “are very happy in seeing all the unique handmade items that you won’t be able to find in stores.”

This is a perfect event to celebrate numerous things, from summertime, to Christmas vibes, to just coming out and having fun with family, friends, and community. With their inviting and welcoming atmosphere, the Mexican Heritage Center is the right place to enjoy any celebration. There will be plenty of entertainment for the whole fam.

Madrid is excited about the event because it will contribute to “making money for our Mexican Heritage Center and Gallery, so we can keep our doors open to the community.”

Come out and support the unique vendors and your community. Make sure to start grabbing those Christmas shopping lists and stop by this event. Don’t forget to visit our stand, the Downtown Stockton Alliance; we will be there with free giveaways and merch for sale!
