StocktonCon Summer will be coming to the Adventist Health Arena over the weekend for a two-day event.
Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. people can experience StocktonCon Summer’s 12th year with comics, games, action figures, collectibles, card games, anime, manga, costume contests and more.
A spokesperson for StocktonCon said the pop culture event used to be a one-day event hosted at University of the Pacific back in 2012, but overwhelming fan support has helped bring thousands of people to the Stockton arena each year.
This year, more than 200 exhibitors such as Marty Grabstein from the show Courage the Cowardly Dog and Kyle Pacek from the Mandalorian will be in attendance. There will also be tons of artist booths at the function.
According to event officials portions of the proceeds from StocktonCon will go directly to local charities.
Single-day presale tickets are priced at $15; 2-day tickets are $20. More information for StocktonCon can be found online.
