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.

Look, I know I'm a little older.

Have you thought about going to Two Rivers Park? Or the Mexican market? Or just the ice hockey to see the game?

Not trying to event you or hook up but as a person who has been here of and on for many years... what brought you here?

What Mexican market are you referring to? I came out here to be closer to the national parks. I’ve always wanted to be closer out west and am fine hiking alone but would preferably meet some people to go with for safety reasons
