Join thousands of proud Stocktonians in celebrating our city on Saturday, October 4th, 2014 at Victory Park from noon to 3PM. Family friendly and free! This years theme is: Stockton: Past, Present and Future. The Celebrate Stockton is Magnificent event began in the spring of 2011 when Forbes Magazine again assessed our great city as the ‘Most Miserable City in the US’. Several like-minded individuals collaborated on a street party to show Forbes Magazine that there are proud Stocktonians who feel that Forbes criterion was flawed and that there are a great many magnificent things about our city–especially the people. The street party was a huge success and has continued to today with a focus away from Forbes and on building civic pride in our community. In 2013 the event committee filed for nonprofit status –Stockton is Magnificent, Inc. to continue to produce the event as well as produce Stockton history programs for local school. Held the first three years on the Miracle Mile the 2014 event will be held in Victory Park to allow for more shade and more space for booths. Booth space is free to nonprofit organizations and community organizations and business working to improve the lives of Stockton citizens. The event will continue to be free to participants and free to guests due to the generosity of local businesses who are sponsors and supporters of the event.
