Good morning, Stockton.
👋 It’s such a fun time of year: I enjoy so many of our local traditions.
This week, we’re looking forward to hosting family at our home. (I don’t know exactly what’s on the menu, but you can bet we’ll have tamales or enchiladas at some point.)
We’ve already taken a stroll down Meadow Lane – better known as Christmas Lane this time of year – and we’ll hit the Lantern Festival at some point.
There are so many other great events in the area. We want to make sure you know about all the happenings in our community.
We have introduced a new community events calendar in Stocktonia. You can find some featured events on our homepage, or check out the full listings on our events page, powered by Evvnt.
Please check out the page and let me know what you think. We also hope you contribute your own events.
Submit an upcoming event by clicking the link below. And don’t worry if your event doesn’t show up immediately, it might take us a day or two to do a quick review.
We know a strong community is an active community. I hope to see you out there.
As always, I look forward to your feedback.
Happy holidays!
