With the holiday season starting early this year, the vibrant event scene in Stockton kicks up yet another notch.
In November, the local calendar is full of diverse happenings from comedy nights and arts exhibits to basketball games and live music. If you like classic entertainment, check out the musical “Oliver!” at Stockton Civic Theatre or Mannheim Steamroller Christmas at the historic Bob Hope Theatre. But if you like high energy shows, Jo Koy’s stand-up at the Stockton Arena is a not-to-be missed event.
