Welcome to Portland 20s Crew: Outdoor Adventures & Hangouts!
Follow us on Instagram @Portland20sCrew
I'm Steven, your group organizer, and I am excited to unite those aged 20-29 in Portland, Maine, and nearby areas.
Our Mission: We aim to connect everyone aged 20-29 through outdoor and social events. While there are many Meetup groups in Maine, most cater to older age groups. We provide a group specifically for young adults to connect and enjoy activities together.
What Sets Us Apart: Unlike other Meetup groups, we stay true to our mission: everyone in our group ages 20-29. Our average age in the group is 25. 34 members have attended at least one event in the group.
Requirements to Join Our Group:
- Be between the ages of 20-29
- Answer all joining questions
- Have a Meetup profile picture of yourself
- Join the GroupMe, set a profile picture on GroupMe, and enable GroupMe notifications
- Keep your RSVP's accurate in the group and if you can't make an event change your RSVP
Can't wait to meet everyone and explore the great outdoors together! 🌲🌟 #Portland20sCrew

# 3 Minute Full Event Video Announcement:
Hey! It’s great to meet you. We are 207 Connect, a group creating real-life dating experiences here in Portland, Maine.
If you are feeling burned out by dating apps, you are not alone. Endless swiping, rising subscription costs, ghosting, and profiles that do not feel genuine can make the whole process exhausting. Approaching someone in public can also feel intimidating when you have no idea if they are single or even open to meeting someone.
This is exactly what a singles mixer is designed for. A mixer creates a relaxed and low-pressure environment where everyone in the room is single, open to meeting new people, and here for the same reason you are: connection. There is no awkward guessing. Instead, you get to meet genuine people face to face, spark real conversations, and see where things naturally go.
If you are ready to meet someone, welcome to our first Singles Mixer of 2026: Single and Ready to Mingle.

### Why This Mixer is Different:
🏢 New Venue with More Space and Activities
✅ Compatibility List to Guide Who You Should Talk To
💌 New Match Card for Easy Connections
🔎 Full Transparency on Gender and Age Ratios
🪪 Updated and Improved Name Tags
We have made several exciting updates for our 20s & 30s mixer to make it even easier to meet your person. We have fully reserved the Ocean Gateway, a premium oceanfront venue in Downtown Portland with a capacity of 800 standing, but have limited attendance to 300 to ensure you have space to talk, move comfortably, and mingle.
We have also invested in brand new software that allows attendees to complete a quick 5-minute compatibility form. At the event, you will receive a list of people you are most compatible with. The software also lets you “like” people, and the day after the event, you will receive an email if you and someone else mutually matched. You will receive an email a week before the event to complete the matchmaking form.
Finally, at the event, we will have ten tables dedicated to fun, easy to learn games to break up small talk! Game examples are Jenga, Uno, and easy, fun card games!
To increase transparency, we post weekly updates of the gender and age ratios for each event on Instagram so you always know what to expect.
Do not just take our word for it. If you are still hesitant, a total of 240 people attended our sold-out September 2025 mixer, Screw the Apps, showing that Portland is ready for real-life dating events. 89% of attendees said they saw someone they were attracted to, and only 1% said they would not come back.
Follow us on Instagram @Maine207Connect for updates, attendee numbers, and sneak peeks.
Let’s start 2026 truly Single and Ready to Mingle.
