What we’re about
Do you want to get out of the house, try new things, and have a lot of fun meeting other active friends your age? Come join us around Columbus for casual, unique and exciting events at the coolest venues in town.
Here's what the group offers:
- Activity - Our goal is to host at least 8 events per month, adding more as we discover more interests. Most of our events allow casual conversation in a fun environment. Even activities with music, games, or sports have social time built in.
- Social Outlet - No more excuses to be home and bored.
- Quality People - Members have to be approved. Singles and couples may join but you must have a membership with a current picture of yourself on your profile. Also, we charge a small yearly admin fee to help keep up with meetup fees and costs managing so many events. (Note: all new members get a 30 day free trial before fees are required)
- Friendship - Finding friends with common interests is encouraged. You must be in your 40s, 50s, or 60s to be a member of this Meetup.
As your organizer, I promise good communication and organized activities. In return, I ask that members keep their RSVPs current.
So hang out with us at one of our events! Engage or just observe but...come join the fun soon!

Let's fest,
Michele - Live Drama in the Park! EMMA (adapted from Jane Austen)Schiller Park, Columbus, OH
Emma is a fresh, wildly funny, feminist take on Jane Austen’s beloved heroine. Emma is too clever for her own good; she decides to find the perfect romantic match for everyone around her, but can’t find a partner for herself. Hamill captures Austen’s wit, language, and flirtatious charm in a romantic comedy for all. Actor's Theatre of Columbus adapted play.
FEE: Pay What You Will (donations accepted at intermission).
PRE-SHOW SOCIAL: 7:15-8:00pm. Sharing BYOB cheese and wine and snacks on the lawn. Pack your preferred beverage and a picnic, or just pick something up from one of many amazing German Village restaurants. BRING A LAWN CHAIR OR BLANKET.
CURTAIN: 8PM (show starts)
PARKING: Located in Schiller Park, in the heart of historic German Village. Parking is available in the paved lot at the Schiller Recreation Center, or on city streets surrounding the park. Parking on the grass is not permitted and may cause Columbus Parks and Recreation to have your vehicle ticketed and/or towed without warning. I like to park in the public lot across from Gressos and walk a couple blocks. - Shucking Bubba Deluxe Music on the Patio!Harry Buffalo, Westerville, OH
