Sister City Delegation Visits Ensenada Mexico

Vallejo Sister City Delegation Visits Ensenada, Mexico

Vallejo and Ensenada officially became Sister Cities in 2024, and last month, a delegation from Vallejo traveled south to strengthen this new partnership. Mayor Andrea Sorce joined Sister City commissioners, performers from La Maestra Yajaira MoonAzteca, and representatives from the Coach Sarna League for a series of meetings and cultural exchanges with local leaders in Ensenada, including the city’s first woman Mayor, Presidenta Municipal Claudia Agatón.

A highlight of the visit was the unveiling of a vibrant mural at Ensenada’s Civic and Cultural Center. Designed by local youth, the artwork features Vallejo landmarks and symbolizes the growing friendship and shared aspirations between our two communities.

To celebrate the partnership, the Vallejo delegation presented a “Taste of Vallejo” gift basket filled with local favorites: products from Anchor Pantry and the Vallejo Museum, Moschetti coffee, Pista Pils from Mare Island Brewing featuring art by Niki Toney, and, fitting for World Cup season, Vallejo-Mexico shirts from Momo’s. A heartfelt thank-you to all our local businesses for helping showcase Vallejo’s spirit and creativity.

The delegation returned home full of gratitude and excitement, looking forward to a strong, meaningful, and long-lasting relationship between our Sister Cities.
