Downtown Stockton Lights Up the Halloween Nights

Main Street Monster Mash kicked off the first Halloween event! Located at the Courthouse Plaza, it boasted exciting activities for kids and adults. 

For the adults, local vendors were there to provide high quality information about their services & resources, many of which support parents and families. For the kids, there was a ton of food & candy! What made this special was that the Underground Arcade was free for the whole event! 

Normally there is an entrance fee, but for this day it was free, open to the public. Kids of all ages got to enjoy the arcade, from Skee-balling, to shooting hoops, to 1st person car racing games. 

This was a perfect night to start off the Halloween experience here in Downtown Stockton.

Next, the SUSD Police Department hosted a safe Trunk or Treat event, held just a few days after Monster Mash. Inside the gated area of the Weber Point Events Center, community partners formed a large circle with bewildering decorated trunks for children to line up and enjoy. 

The wicked, chilling designs and the incredible, ghastly costumes worn by attendees were easily the best I’ve seen in a long time. Combined with the eerie night, lights emanating the area made the atmosphere incredible. This was by far the most packed event of the year, with the line of trick-or-treaters stretching nearly half a mile around the block! 

Recognizing that not everyone would make it inside before closing, the Police Department took the commendable initiative of walking the line to personally hand out candy to those still waiting, a gesture that underscored the immense scale and community spirit of the evening.

The final Halloween event was the successful debut of Trick or Suite! Held at the Adventist Health Arena, children and their accompanying adults enjoyed a unique experience: ascending to the top floor to explore haunted decorated suites casted above the ground floor. Various partners filled these suites with candy and daunting decor.

This special event allowed many attendees—who would not otherwise have the chance—to tour the arena’s fancy, high-end suites and enjoy their premium vantage point.

Beyond the trick-or-treating, fun activities such as photo booths and drawing stations were also available. 

What made the biggest impression was the view from the suites, looking down onto the arena floor, which was brilliantly illuminated by a magnificent array of LED colors.

With its dazzling suites, sweet treats, and lively atmosphere, Trick or Suite was a fantastic way to conclude Downtown Stockton’s Halloween adventures.
