DISCOVER. WANDER. WONDER.

Long Beach Heritage is proud to announce the return of our beloved Summer of Architecture series for 2026 — generously sponsored by the Port of Long Beach.

Each summer, neighborhood groups, historians, architects, homeowners, preservationists, and curious explorers come together to celebrate the stories, design, and hidden details that make Long Beach unlike anywhere else.

From walking tours and historic homes to special lectures, workshops, music nights, and brand-new experiences, this season is all about getting out into the city and seeing Long Beach through fresh eyes.

Whether you’re a longtime preservation enthusiast or simply architecture-curious, there’s something waiting for you this summer.
