Long Beach Celebrates 25 Years of Sisterhood with Chinese City of Qingdao
Join Us for Our Anniversary Celebration October 2-4, 2010
Just as China launched its remarkable leap into the modern world, Long Beach, California, reached out and established a sister city relationship with one of its coastal cities, Qingdao. People in Qingdao were still wearing Mao jackets and riding bicycles and most people in Long Beach probably could not find China on a map. Today, all that has changed and the two cities will celebrate their relationship Oct. 2-4 with a series of activities in Long beach sponsored by the LBQA.
In the spotlight for the anniversary will be the Xiao Bai Fan troupe. The visiting children's dance and music troupe is composed of 25 children from Qindao. Performances will take place at the Green Port Fest at the Port of Long Beach on Oct. 2nd, the Aquarium of the Pacific on Oct. 3rd and at the 25th Anniversary Dinner on Oct. 4th. More details will be available soon.
