Kathy Miller has taken the lead in developing some of the most exciting new initiatives and programs in Downtown Stockton, including:

• Special Events and Street Life
• Idea Forums
• Creation of a Entertainment District
• A new brand for Stockton as "The destination of choice when you want to celebrate life, art, food, music, sports, theater and recreation."

Farmer's Market

The Friday Farmer's Market offers fresh produce, hand-crafted items and live entertainment each week in Hunter Square.  Under Kathy's guidance, the Alliance expanded the lunchtime music and dance performances to provide opportunities for local students and performers to share their talents with the community.

 

Idea Forum

The 2008 Forum presented Roger Brooks of Destination Development, Inc., who previewed the new marketing brand for Stockton to over 500 community leaders and interested citizens at the Bob Hope Theatre. 

 

 

Art Walk

New special events and entertainment exploded under Kathy's leadership, with the Downtown Stockton Alliance becoming the single largest producer of live music events in Stockton in 2007.  The monthly Art Walk, Music in the Square Summer Concert Series, Final Friday Concerts in DeCarli Square, St. Patrick's Day Fun Run, Festival and Street Party, are setting the stage for development of a Downtown Entertainment District.

Clean & Safe

In partnership with the City of Stockton, Kathy developed a plan to provide a Comprehensive Downtown Maintenance Program to keep sidewalks and public spaces Clean & Safe for the next ten years.
