Stockton was once home to a thriving Filipino culture. While many Filipinos still make their home here, the older generation may remember when they were all concentrated in the Little Manila section of the city. Today, only three buildings are still standing from what was once the largest thriving Filipino community in the United States. The stories, struggles, triumphs and contributions of the Filipino culture to Stockton's growth can be traced back here. Take a dramatic tour of the Iloilo Circle, the Dimasalang House and the Daguhoy Lodge, the three remaining structures that preserve the Filipino history quite fittingly.

Enjoy nature while still retaining access to all of the modern comforts when you make plans to spend some quality time at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina. This facility features state-of-the-art covered boat slips from 36 to 50 feet, so no matter what size your watercraft is, you will be able to light out from this location. The resort also features an RV and camping area, so whether you choose to stay outdoors on land or navigate your vessel seaward, you can equally enjoy both at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina.

Every April, Stockton presents a very tasty celebration with the Stockton Asparagus Festival. The three-day multi-event has been held every year for the past 27 years, and continues to get more popular. Enjoy over 100 arts and crafts vendors as well as plenty of food and product vendors. This is the place where the world-famous Deep Fried Asparagus Eating Championship proudly takes place. This is the largest food festival in the Central Valley, and it also holds the distinction of being the state's largest charitable event.
