After a successful debut last year, the popular Halloween celebration returns October 29 with themed luxury suites, trick-or-treating, games, prizes and family-friendly activities.
Trick-or-treating is getting an arena-sized twist this Halloween as Adventist Health Arena prepares to welcome Stockton families back for the second annual Trick or Suite celebration on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
Instead of going door to door through a neighborhood, children will have the opportunity to explore the arena's luxury suite level, where specially decorated suites will become Halloween destinations filled with candy, activities and surprises.
Best of all, the event is free and open to the public, giving local families another way to enjoy Halloween together without the cost of admission.
Following the success of last year's inaugural celebration, organizers are bringing the event back with themed suites, games, prizes, photo opportunities and a special walkthrough experience.
A Different Kind of Trick-or-Treating
For most families, luxury suites are something they see from the seats below during concerts, basketball games or other arena events.
Trick or Suite offers a chance to experience that part of Adventist Health Arena in an entirely different way.
For one Halloween celebration, the arena's exclusive suite level will open to the public, with participating suites transformed into festive trick-or-treat stops.
Children can dress in their favorite costumes, collect candy and enjoy the excitement of moving from one decorated suite to the next.
Parents and caregivers can join the fun in an indoor environment designed to be welcoming for families.
The celebration will take place rain or shine, making it an appealing option for families who prefer an indoor Halloween activity.
Organizers are encouraging attendees of all ages to come in costume and enjoy the festivities.
Building on Last Year's Success
Trick or Suite made its debut in 2025, introducing a Halloween experience that brought families into a part of the arena not typically accessible to the general public.
The positive response encouraged organizers to bring the celebration back for a second year.
Jason Perry, General Manager of Stockton Live, said the event reflects the arena team's commitment to creating memorable community experiences.
"The return of Trick or Suite on October 29 is something our entire team is excited about," Perry said. "Seeing families come together to celebrate in a safe and welcoming atmosphere is what makes this event special."
Perry added that the second-year celebration will continue combining community spirit with Halloween activities for guests of all ages.
The event also highlights how Stockton's downtown entertainment venues can serve the community beyond their traditional schedules of concerts, sporting events and performances.
By opening its suite level for a free celebration, Adventist Health Arena is creating another opportunity for residents to experience the venue in a fun, family-oriented setting.
Candy, Games, Prizes and Photo Opportunities
Trick-or-treating may be the main attraction, but families can look forward to several other activities throughout the celebration.
In addition to collecting candy from themed suites, attendees can enjoy games, prizes and Halloween photo opportunities.
A special walkthrough experience presented by Big Valley Ford and Univision will add another attraction to the festivities.
The event is supported by local sponsor Merces JeremÃas, along with community organizations from across Stockton that are helping create the celebration.
Their involvement reflects the collaborative effort behind an event designed to bring families together.
For children, the experience offers the excitement of discovering what awaits behind each decorated suite entrance.
For parents, it's an opportunity to enjoy a Halloween outing in a single indoor location.
And for families looking for activities before Halloween night, the October 29 celebration provides another opportunity to put those costumes to good use.
A Community Celebration for Stockton Families
Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi praised the return of Trick or Suite and the creative approach behind the event.
"This Halloween, the Legends Global team are turning arena suites into something sweet!" Fugazi said. "That's Stockton at its best! Creative, welcoming, and bringing families together."
The mayor's comments reflect the community-centered spirit organizers hope to continue building through the celebration.
Free family events can be especially meaningful during a season when costumes, decorations and holiday activities can add to household expenses.
By eliminating the admission cost, Trick or Suite gives more families an opportunity to take part in a Halloween celebration.
The indoor setting also offers a different experience from traditional neighborhood trick-or-treating, particularly for families with younger children.
With community organizations and local sponsors contributing to the festivities, the event brings together businesses, civic partners and residents around a shared goal: creating a memorable Halloween experience for Stockton families.
