About us
Welcome to Social Fun!
For over 15 years, we’ve been one of the largest and most active Meetup groups in New England, bringing together both locals and newcomers. Whether you're looking to meet new people, explore the area, or just have a good time, this group is here to help. Membership is free, but donations are always appreciated since running the group does come with costs.
We’re always looking for great people and their ideas to keep us going. If you have something in mind for an event, let’s talk!
Quick heads-up:
We have no control over DMs sent through Meetup. While we strongly discourage unsolicited business or romantic messages, we can’t prevent them. If a member of this group sends you anything unwanted, feel free to reach out. Meetup is meant to build in-person connections, and we appreciate everybody helping to keep it respectful.
