LGB Gets Neighborly at Seventh Annual Good Neighbor Festival and Picnic

Listening to feedback

LGB Beach balls were a big hit with the kids

LGB staff had the opportunity to get to know our neighbors on Saturday, September 28, at the Seventh Annual Good Neighbor Festival and Picnic, which included music, games and food.

In order to interact with the community we asked festival goers to "like" us on Facebook. Long Beach Airport's Facebook and Twitter accounts are a valuable resource for airport news, noise updates and to get feedback from the public. Additionally, we have added "like" and "follow" buttons in the top right corner of our blog to keep you continually updated.

Staff and volunteers handed out bubbles, beach balls, tote bags, doggie bandanas and animal waste bags. While talking to the community the Airport received great feedback on the concourse remodel. One man said he flies out of LGB almost exclusively because of how convenient it is.

The Good Neighbor Festival and Picnic is a project that Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske, of the 5th District, has overseen for the past seven years and showcases a variety of participants who believe in the community and what it can be when we work together.
