Join us to learn about each sister city—their unique culture, history, language, music, and arts from representative experts from each Arlington Sister City Association (ASCA) committee. Discover opportunities to travel abroad or represent Arlington to our guests, participate in exchanges, and attend cultural programs and events. Whether you are native to that county or city, speak the language, or just have curiosity about a new place, learn how to explore OUR sister cities.

Arlington, through ASCA, has been promoting Arlington through its work with Government, Economic Development, Arts/Culture, and Education since 1993. Arlington is proud to be part of Sister Cities International, first created at President Eisenhower’s 1956 White House summit on citizen diplomacy, where he envisioned a network that would be a champion for peace and prosperity by fostering bonds between people from different communities around the world.

Light refreshments will be served.

Attendees can register to be eligible for a free raffle for gift cards to local restaurants that serve cuisine local to our sister cities.
