About us
This is a group for Millennials/Gen Y folks who want to get out around Portland and meet more people. As one of the group's organizers (Hi, I'm Jay [they/them]!), this group has helped to create friendships and community for myself and others. Follow us on Instagram (@portlandmillennialsmeetup) for more happenings around Portland beyond our events.
I strive toward planning low-barrier and inclusive events, meaning that people of all backgrounds and abilities can participate. I look for opportunities for low cost and alcohol-free activities. Unfortunately, option can be limited by weather and venues suitable for our size group to hang out. I encourage anyone in the community who is interested in planning additional events to contact me. More organizers and more events are very welcome!
The values of this group are anti-racist and welcoming to people of all genders, sexual orientations, cultures, abilities, and neurodivergence. I try to approach conflict with curiosity and encourage the practice of "calling in" someone in response to a prejudiced comment, but harassment or disrespectful behavior is not tolerated.
The group's age demographic provides a common ground for building community within our cohort. Please reach out if you fall outside of Gen Y and are having trouble finding meetup groups.
A few more guidelines: If you sign up for an event, please try to keep to your commitment. If your plans change at any time, you should change your RSVP status. Members who have been inactive (i.e. haven't visited the website) for 3+ years will be removed from the group, but can rejoin at any time.
Wait lists: Some events fill up fast, but please join the wait list if you're interested in coming. People often get moved off the wait list. If there's a long wait list, I'll know to host a similar event soon.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting out and about!

We won't know what type of apple will be available for picking until closer to the date. We can check for updates on Randall Orchard's facebook page.

Corn Maze @ Pumpkin Valley Farm
Pumpkin Valley Farm, 100 Union Falls Road, Dayton, ME, USJoin us at Pumpkin Valley Farm for Fall Fest! There is a corn maze for us to walk through, a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, a wagon ride, and a few other attractions. It's $15/person to enter the farm.
After that, we can have lunch. You can bring a picnic lunch into the farm (no outside alcohol) or the farm serves wood fired pizza and local beer. There's also a snack shack with kettle corn, hot dogs, cotton candy, and cider. Credit card is accepted except at their snack shack.
They don't allow dogs. It’s a good idea to wear athletic or hiking shoes (something you don’t mind getting a little dirty) and dress for the weather. Check out the farm's FAQ for more info.
This event is weather permitting. Pumpkin Valley Farm is about 35 minutes southwest of Portland. We'll plan on arriving at the farm at 12pm and meet by the admission stand. Carpooling is encouraged.
