Sailing is a popular sport in Long Beach, and the Congressional Cup sailing event is held in Long Beach every April. The event which began in 1964 has grown into one of the world's most recognized sailing events. The one-on-one race is similar to the America's Cup competition, so it is not surprising that the winners of the Congressional race go on to win the America’s Cup as well.
Putting on a show is not only an art, but in a sense, a science, too. It takes both talented performers and technical pros to pull off an excellent stage production. The International City Theatre has been doing just that in Long Beach since it began back in 1985. This award-winning, professional group is a non-profit entity that consistently delivers an appealing schedule of dramatic, comedic and musical entertainment throughout the year.
When making plans for your evening, there always seems to be a bit of difficulty deciding where to have dinner and then where to have drinks. Make it a complete no-brainer by doing both at Long Beach's Auld Dubliner. This popular nightlife establishment has been putting smiles on the faces of its many visitors over the years as it offers the genuine charm of a classic Irish pub and restaurant. Of course you can find the traditional corned beef and cabbage and beef stew on the menu, but also you can feast on such treats as grilled salmon, salads, and an impressive selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. And of course, the wide selection of beers, ales and lagers is second to none!
