Stockton, CA – March 22, 2026 – Protest plans, the Speedway season opener and weekend community events kept Stockton active.
Stockton wrapped up a busy weekend with a mix of civic activism, racing excitement and family-friendly gatherings across the city.
Protest Planned for March 28
Organizers shared plans online this weekend for a March 28 gathering dubbed the Stockton No Kings 3 protest. The event is expected to bring residents together downtown to voice concerns about national and local political issues.

Stockton 99 Speedway Opens 77th Season
Racing fans packed Stockton 99 Speedway on Saturday evening for the track’s 77th season opener. The long-running venue remains one of the oldest operating paved racetracks in the country, and opening night traditionally draws strong local support.
The event marked the unofficial start of the spring racing calendar in San Joaquin County, with additional race nights scheduled through the summer months.
Community Events Fill the Calendar
Saturday also featured a range of family-oriented events, including an Easter-themed festival at a local church and a senior-focused resource fair on East Harding Way. At the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, a lawnmower exchange event offered residents a chance to trade in older gas-powered equipment.
Looking ahead, regional news sources reported developments Sunday tied to law enforcement activity elsewhere in California, with at least one person detained in connection with a reported shooting incident. Local authorities have not indicated any direct impact on Stockton.
With spring now underway, Stockton’s calendar continues to reflect a blend of civic engagement, recreation and seasonal celebrations.
