We are organizing another TownFlame Festival Friends Circle event in the coming Coffee Festival in San Francisco, Nov 8, at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, Festival Pavilion. Plz notice, the festival charges admission fee, free if volunteer, we don't charge anything for it.
https://www.sfcoffeefestival.com/The festival would include coffee tasting, live music etc. an immersive experience. It would be indoors, so rain or shine, it will be on. It is to be held at the scenic Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, a worthwhile and relaxing destination itself.
Our signature Festival Friends Circle event is meant to have people get connected efficiently while enjoy the easy festival vibe. We have people self-select into squads, then go to the festival together, then regroup and remix after certain time, then roam free. This way, you get chance to connect with people in your squads, share a festival experience together. Come to check it out yourself, you never know who you are going to meet in the festivals.
This event is to be co-hosted with a pair of veterans from our last festival friends circle. If you have ideas of festivals you want to attend but don't have a group yet, let us know. We may be able to help organize a friends circle event in your festival also,
