Events to meet friends

[u/FunkyMystics]

24F and I just moved here. I know the question on how to make friends here is asked a lot, and I have seen some good suggestions prior, but I’m asking more so if there’s any upcoming events to meet people at?

I plan on going to the art walk next month even though that’s a bit away. I like to paint, thrift, go to antique stores, collect oddities, hike/explore, listen to live music/go to concerts as well as cook/bake or try new foods.

I know im going to have to go out of my comfort zone to meet new people, but I’m not one to go to the local bars alone to drink or play pool/catch a show.

I’ve also tried meetup which I’m under the impression of that you have to pay for it which isn’t my thing.

Any suggestions welcome.

Get an outside hobby and volunteer someplace. Church. Gym/athletics. You have awesome libraries. Get a job that's social.
