Portland Guadalajara Sister City Association

The Portland Guadalajara Sister City Association (PGSCA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating and strengthening partnerships and fostering goodwill between the City of Portland and the City of Guadalajara. PGSCA achieves this endeavor through on-going cultural, educational, and economic development initiatives.

Additionally, PGSCA's Community Giving Program supports creditable Causes in Oregon through social, cultural and educational projects. PGSCA's four-day Cinco de Mayo Fiesta held at Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park provides the primary source of funding for the organization's charitable and cultural activities. The Cinco de Mayo Fiesta celebrates the richness and diversity of family, culture and community with authentic Latino art, music, dance, cuisine, and hand made crafts.

PGSCA’s mission is to foster intercultural exchange, promote goodwill with the citizens of Guadalajara, and to stimulate the development of cultural diversity between Mexico and the United States.
