Meetup—the people platform. Where interests become friendships.
For over 20 years, people have turned to Meetup to find their people. Start a group to make new friends, explore your city, and pursue common interests. Now’s your time to find community.
Meetup makes it easy to build a community
Offset Costs
Get support from your group members with member dues, event fees, or our fundraising tools.
Get social! Whether you’re new in town or a longtime local, start a group to make friends with people who live nearby. Or, join an international friends group to meet people around the globe!
More than friendships
Instead of swiping, meet new people IRL. Expand your social circle by starting a singles group. Bond over happy hours, pub crawls, and events—you never know who you’ll meet next!
Enjoy your city
Meet the people who make a new place feel like home and experience all your city has to offer. Start a group to dine out, enjoy nightlife, grab coffee, or share some food, drinks, and laughs.
Try something new
Enjoy your hobbies with good company. Start a group to hike, bike, camp, raft, or kayak. Or start a group for game nights, art outings, concerts, and more.
