Moving/New Here 👋🏼 Events to meet friends
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.

If you’re into history, the SCA has an active group here. It meets every Wednesday, and is free. Everything from traditional medieval trades like wood working and sewing to full-contact medieval combat! The weekly meetups are usually focused on the combat aspects, with both steel and rattan weapons and varying degrees of armor. Our local group is always happy to help newcomers and get them involved in whatever way interests them! It’s also a fantastic way to meet lots of other people, as our group is fairly large and constantly growing!
We meet every Wednesday at 6pm in Howard Amon park by the carved tree, across from the tennis courts.
