About Lusitano Club of California

Our Club was established to promote and preserve the history, culture, and heritage of the descendants of Portuguese people of the Far East, known as “Macanese.”

Our Club’s mission is to educate, celebrate and advance our distinguishable history, language, literature, art, music, sports and cuisine as it developed in Macau, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and elsewhere along the spice trade routes where the Portuguese established a presence.

Since the establishment of the Lusitano Club in 1984, and with over 850 members, we are now fostering the active participation of our youth. We host many social events annually, including activities with similar groups regionally and globally, and we publish a quarterly Lusitano Bulletin, to promote awareness and appreciation of our cultural legacy for the enrichment and enjoyment of our members and the community at large.
