Long Beach first became
involved in the Sister City International Program in 1963,
when the city of Long Beach and the city of Yokkaichi, Japan
established a partnership with the signing of affiliation
documents making the two communities sister cities. Today,
Long Beach enjoys eight Sister Cities and one Friendship
City relationship. They provide over 20 annual cultural
events in the Long Beach community, host over 25
