Some nights are entertaining. Others become part of your memory.

On Saturday, September 26, the gardens of The River Mill will fill with music.

You’ll hear the Latin rhythms of Primitivo as cocktails are poured.
You’ll experience violinist Ava Pakiam, pianist Cole Anderson, and the distinctive sound of Koto Yuki.
You’ll watch Amy Burkman create a work of art before your eyes.
And after dinner, DJ Fayette Latrice will turn the evening into a celebration.

But this night is about more than dinner, music, and dancing.

One hundred years ago, two organizations began serving this community.

The Stockton Symphony began bringing great music to San Joaquin County.

United Way of San Joaquin County began bringing people together to make this community stronger.

A century later, both are still here.

Still serving.
Still connecting people.
Still believing in what this community can become.

And for one evening, we’re bringing those two stories together.

✨ UNFORGETTABLE: Celebrating 100 Years of Community

📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ 6:00–10:00 PM
📍 The River Mill | French Camp
👔 Black-tie attire requested

🎶 Did you know? The Stockton Symphony is turning 100.

For nearly a century, the Stockton Symphony has brought live orchestral music to our community — from classical masterworks to pops concerts, family programs, student performances, and unforgettable community celebrations.

This season, we begin our Centennial Season, and we are celebrating the people, places, and moments that have made the Symphony part of Stockton’s story since 1926.

As we get ready for our July 4th performance at Weber Point, we are also looking ahead to a full year of music, memories, and celebration.
