Stockmarket

Really enjoyed coming to Stockmarket event. I met local vendors who created a one of a kind crafts. I bought a bunch of really cool items and one of them was a hand made, engraved fridge magnet. I also met several artist in ceramics and wood working who works with their craft at a shared creative space in downtown Stockton. They also had live music which I enjoyed just sitting down listening while admiring the nice waterfront overlooking the sailboat. I had a great time here and would come back again. Best of all, the San Joaquin Bike Coalition provided a place to valet park our bikes. Very worthwhile visit. Cheers!

Awesome Downtown Stockton event! Downtown needs more of these. Live music, multiple types of local vendors from delicious food trucks to different types of arts & crafts. I love supporting local businesses! This event provides that opportunity. Dustbowl Brewery was there also selling between 4-6 different seasonal brews. Good family event. Try the MoMo's Frigid Frog Shaved Ice truck. My cousin owns it and their shaved ice tastes awesome.

The Stockmarket is a local event here in Stockton, CA that brings together the community to celebrate the great people & things about Stockton. There are different types of artists and small businesses who come to show case their handcrafted goods. You can find candles, bath and body, leather goods, fiber art, plants, jewelry, dog accessories, home goods, vintage clothing & accessories... and sooo much more. The variety of talented makers is insane! There is no way you can't find what you want here.There are also a wide variety of food trucks/vendors, so if you want to grab some good as hell eats & drinks, this is a great place to do that! You can enjoy your food & drinks while strolling through the park. Local bands and singers are also booked to play during the event, so you can get a taste of live musicians from here in the valley.I have participated in the Stockmarket as a customer and as a vendor, and I have never had a bad time. The company who runs the show, Goodstock CA, is a very small team of badasses who are doing their damn best to make an amazing event, and they never fail to do so. They are clear with their vendors on what's going on and constantly promote & support their businesses. I have never had a bad experience as a vendor.All in all, I think the reason why the Stockmarket is one of the best events to go to is because it's full of passion, talent, love, and community. You can feel it radiating from the park from a mile away. I mean, why would you want to pass up an experience like that?

I really enjoyed attending this event the first 2 years so much I thought I would join as a vendor this year. I signed up and paid for 2 months, and was super stoked about participating from the "other" side. I was so disappointed and a little heart broken... enough that I don't care to participate in this event again. I saw a previous review from someone who said that they felt that the company advertised for the same vendors over and over again, the same vendors that are there for every StockMarket. Which is so very true. As a vendor, I was offering an actual service, which I've only ever seen one other vendor offer a service at this event, much different than mine, but a service nonetheless. I got NO advertisement. I asked before the first event if they would advertise for me and I was assured that they would. In 60 days, from before the first one until the day of the second one I participated in, I didn't see one iota of mention of myself or my service on their MANY ad posts on social media and other marketing outlets. So to say I was disappointed is a huge understatement.At the actual event, one of the girls said hi to me once. And at one point I said hello to he other gal and she walked right passed me. Maybe she didn't hear me, maybe she ignored me... I'll never know because she never EVER spoke to me. But during both events no one from their team ever came up to my booth to see how it was going or to even say hello. I was a new, local vendor, offering a service that is new to the area. I got little to no attention or seemed to even show up on their radar. I was so excited to be apart of Stockmarket. I spent weeks preparing, buying supplies, getting things ready, promoting the event, staying up late checking and re-checking things. Telling all my friends and co workers to come to the event. So excited, and I was sad after the very first event. I had paid for the second month, so I attended. And once again, not one pre-advertisement or one visit to my booth. I voiced my opinion to a few other vendors and they felt the same way. Maybe a friendlier interaction with new vendors, also promoting new vendors to keep them coming back, or even a simple 5 minute visit to vendor's booths would make a huge difference in how we feel and maybe keep some of us coming back. So I will not be returning. I went in with high hopes and left feeling very discouraged.

Such a fun event! Artistic vendors, yummy food trucks, great music, relaxing park atmosphere. We'll be there each month!

My whole family LOVES Stockmarket. We've been going on and off since the beginning and have watched it grow and relocate to the Miracle Mile. Even their first event at a brand new location was amazing. Their choice of vendors makes for a highly curated selection of handmade and mostly local goods, from organic body care to jewelery to vintage clothes. They always have live music and delicious food stands/trucks, so it's easy to spend a whole Saturday there. It really is an event you don't want to miss, especially with the holiday season upon us!

Awesome new location in downtown Stockton and a great place to check out local vendors plus food from different cultures. If you are gluten free you gotta check out GFAF stand by Angie from Sweden who has treats beyond your imagination. Good vibes at Stockmarket!!

Bearded hipsters sell cool stuff they make in their flats while sipping craft beer, pretty hippy chicks with vintage tattoos that would make sailors proud sell their grandma's old clothes to other pretty hippy chicks, live bands and DJs provide the soundtrack, and people line up to eat food made in trucks. You've gotta check this out. Think extra-funky flea market full of the people that frequent your local thrift shops and coffee houses. Bonus -- Families dig this event and there are things that the kids can do to themselves busy. That's always cool.

Good place to hang out on a Saturday good vibe great music something for everyone just wish the the vendors were a little more special that's the best word I can use for the price point most of them are charging it's not like you cant go to the store and get it better made on some of the things not all bit some but it's totally worth checking out

Great event.... I went in April for the first time and it's a very organized and fun event... they have plenty of vendors and variety to make it a worthwhile way to spend a Saturday. The music was excellent and they had good food trucks. I have been to several other events like this and this is one of the best.
