Fort Collins Make New Friends Happy Hour!

Whether you're new to the area, a longtime resident, or just visiting, join us 👋 to make new friends!

There's no agenda... just people looking to meet one another and have a chat, a drink, and a 😊 good time.

Look for people with name tags. We’ll be in the central grassy area if the weather is decent. Otherwise, we'll be inside the putt putt.

We know some folks may feel anxious about meeting new people or find it awkward going to an event alone. If that describes you, please introduce yourself to us so we can extend a warm welcome and 🤗 connect you with others. We'll do our best to make you feel comfortable.

Although the event has an end time, many people stick around to continue socializing.

See you there!
