Gimhae Sister City Visit - LKW

“The City of Lakewood was delighted to welcome our friends from our Sister City, Gimhae, South Korea, to Lakewood for SummerFEST 2026!

Thank you to the Gimhae delegation for visiting us and sharing your culture and traditions with our community. We were especially honored to host your performance at our SummerFEST Celebration and to have you help make the day even more special.

Lakewood and Gimhae have shared a Friendship City relationship since 2006 and officially became Sister Cities in 2022. Our partnership continues to create opportunities for cultural, educational, sports, governmental, and economic exchange, and visits like this help strengthen the friendship between our two communities.

We are grateful to our friends from Gimhae for traveling to Lakewood, participating in SummerFEST, and helping us celebrate together. Thank you for being part of our celebration. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!”
