Silver Sapphics: A Singles Mixer for the 50+ Community

For single lesbians, bi women, and sapphic trans people over the age of fifty. Happy Hour cocktails, mocktails, games, and good times.
Hi, Matchmaker Karmen here. We had such a good time at the last Silver Sapphics event, we're doing it again!
If you're a single, sapphic, and open to meeting new people, come to Hen's and bring a friend. We have space in the private back room for mixing and mingling.
I'm coming back with a little trivia, but this time, team edition! We're going to play a few rounds where you're matched with a new partner each round. Let's see if you can win together to be the top pair! This time, we're playing for real prizes!

In order to be matched, make a Karmen Connects profile before Thursday, February 19th at 5pm.

Date & Time:
Friday, February 20, 2026
6-8 pm aka Happy Hour!

How it started: I've spoken with a lot of lesbians and bi women over the age of 50 recently who feel like nightlife caters to a younger crowd. And, for most people, it's not as easy to meet people in bars as it used to be. So, I partnered with Henrietta Hudson to bring you Silver Sapphics, a singles mixer for the 50+ community.
