TORRANCE —?Celebrating 50 years of friendship with the city of Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, the Torrance Sister City Association (TSCA), one of the most successful sister-city programs in the country and operating since 1973, proudly presents the Friendship Festival, an evening of music and arts at the James R. Armstrong Theater, 3330 Civic Center Dr. in Torrance, on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m.
The Friendship Festival will feature the inspiring talents of past Torrance and Kashiwa student exchange students who today are highly accomplished performing artists, and will also include a showcase of visual artists in the main lobby.
TSCA invites the local community and all present and past TSCA members, delegates and host families to join the contingent of 50 Kashiwa city representatives and friends traveling from Japan to attend this commemorative event.
