UPCOMING EVENTS

We hold two annual fundraising events: the Spring Fling in April, and the Maritime Industry Salute in late September or early October.

To sense the warmth of Our Center and meet the incredible seafarers you support, every fourth Thursday each month we have happy hours, free and open to all, called The Anchor.

You are warmly invited to join us at all our events! See you there!

The Anchor - Our New Monthly Happy Hour starts Thursday, June 26th from 3-5pm

Join us for "The Anchor," our new monthly happy hours at the International Seafarers Center every fourth Thursday from 3-5 p.m. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with visiting seafarers and fellow members of the Long Beach and Los Angeles port community over complimentary wine, beer, and delicious cuisines. Each month features a different local restaurant; we're kicking things off with tasty cuisine from Mexihanas Long Beach! Make our Center your anchor point for camaraderie. Free and open to all!
