Come Make New Friends

I believe that connecting with other people is what brings purpose and meaning to our lives. If you would you like to have a good conversation and perhaps make a new friend in a relaxed atmosphere, this event is for you!

The Hostel Cafe is a cute establishment downtown with easy access and reasonable parking options nearby. And, has a variety of food and beverage options available - so if coffee isn't your thing, don't worry, they will likely have you covered.

This will be a social event, where you can mix and mingle and perhaps try to make a friend before the event is done.

The event starts at 10am, but please feel free to stop by anytime while the event is going on. There is no such thing as being late.

I try to welcome everyone who attends and introduce you into a conversation - if you like, so if you are feeling a little nervous or anxious about attending a social event, you might find this one a lot easier to engage with.

I suggest thinking about some interests/hobbies/passions you may want to talk about for this event. I have found that a good start to finding friends is to share a hobby or interest or passion.

I hope to see you there!

Portland’s premier cultural celebration is hitting the Waterfront and we are heading down to join the festivities. If you are looking for a fly event to come to and hang with some new friends while catching world class Mariachi performances and grabbing authentic food in the city, this is the move. Tom McCall Waterfront Park provides the ideal backdrop to get out and meet people. 🏙️🔥

The goal is straightforward: come out and make new friends. Most people arrive solo with the exact same objective of expanding their social circle while experiencing the city's signature spring festival. 🤝✨

Look for Aaron or Amara when you get there; we will handle the introductions and make sure you are connected with the group. 📍🗺️
