BOSTON/STRASBOURG

SISTER CITY ASSOCIATION

AT A GLANCE

Welcome to the official website of the Boston/Strasbourg Sister City Association (BSSCA). We have fostered the relationship between the sister cities of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and Strasbourg, Alsace, France for 60 years! Boston and Strasbourg began their association in 1960 thanks to the inspiration of Strasbourg native, Charles Munch, then conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

 

The BSSCA has entertained Strasbourg mayors, sponsored numerous student exchanges, sent Bostonians to the European Parliament, scientists to French laboratories, business students on internships, and enabled bakers, firemen, community gardeners, artists, and musicians to visit their sister city.

We welcome all people who are interested in fostering this relationship to become members of our organization. Please click here to complete our New Member Application and start enjoying the benefits of membership.

Please join your fellow Boston Strasbourg Sister City Association members and friends for an informal brainstorming session to discuss preferences and new ideas for our Jumelage. What would you like to see happen within the framework of our relationship with Strasbourg? 

Our counterparts in France are anxious to create a high school hockey exchange, an artist residency program, and a book discussion group via Zoom.

 

Your ideas are wanted. Your first cocktail is complimentary.  And parking is free! See https://www.marseilleboston.com/

 

Register here by November 30. or just show up to our COCKTAIL KLATCH! You may even want to continue discussing new ideas over dinner (at your expense) at this southern Mediterranean style restaurant.
