Wat we doen
Home of Mid-Week Crisis and Sunday Drinks - we're a group of friends organizing events where the only goals are to hang out, have good conversations, and make friends!
Our group and events are open to anyone, but our ambition is to be a place for immigrants who are committed to Amsterdam for the long-term, and locals who want to meet new people. When we first moved to Amsterdam, we were looking for smaller, more intimate meetups with more regulars, and decided to create our own group for exactly that.
We aim to create a close-knit and welcoming environment where you feel at home immediately, and are always looking forward to the next event - and would love your feedback if that was not the case!
We have a zero tolerate policy for sexism, racism, homophobia, harassment and creepy/inappropriate behavior. Our meetups are NOT singles/dating events. If you notice any behavior at our events that make you or anyone else uncomfortable, please do not hesitate to reach out to the organizers - we can only act on it if we know about it!

<===Hi everyone!
This time we're going back to a location in Oud-West you've liked a lot, with plenty of outdoor space! Join us at Cafè Jacob for an evening of fun - just walk in, get a drink, meet fellow expats and make new international friends! We have a dedicated area of the bar just for us.
The venue offers good (and reasonably priced) drinks and snacks, but you can also get a proper dinner if you want.
See you all there!

- XXL BBQ picnic in Westerpark!Westerpark, Amsterdam
IMPORTANT: We're keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, in case of rain we will postpone!
In the summer months, several meetup groups in Amsterdam come together to bring everyone together for picnics in the park. Meet old friends and make new ones alike.
- Bring your own food/drinks - of course, if you bring enough to share with others, you do gain karma points
- BBQs are allowed 🥳 there are shared large BBQ grills, but they may not be available. Bring a one-time grill if you'd like to, but make sure not to scorch the grass, and clean up after yourself when done.
- Feel free to bring games, bluetooth speakers, musical instruments - but do so on your own risk!
- The picnic ends around 6-7PM. By this point, many people decide to go for informal dinners. These are not part of the meetup itself, you'll have to find the people to go with yourself.
Check out photos from the previous event here. You may also be interested in our sister group's city walk before the picnic, or Geografiets' bike trip.
As always, reach out to any of the organizers is you are the victim of or notice any inappropriate behavior, including but not limited to: Sexual harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia. Our events have a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior, but we can only act on it if we know about it.
