Life’s better when you have plans — so let’s make them together. This group is for mature people in their 40s and 50s who want to get out on weekends, meet new friends, and enjoy the best of Victoria in a fun, welcoming way.

Whether you’ve lived here forever or just arrived, you’ll find an easy-going group that’s ready to laugh, connect, and make weekends something to look forward to.
We’ll gather downtown for all kinds of social fun:
🎶 Live music and jazz nights
🍷 Tapas, wine tastings, and cocktail evenings
🥂 Social mixers, potluck events and gatherings
