It's one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to meet new people in New Braunfels. You'll be matched into a small group based on your personality and interests, enjoy dinner together at a local restaurant, and then have the option to join everyone at the after-party afterward.

Here's what past guests have had to say:

"This is how you build a community."

"I've already exchanged numbers with a few new friends."

"We signed up for the next one before we even got home."

Spots are limited, and once they're gone, registration will close. A special thank you to our July sponsor, Royce Staley with Cruise Planners, for helping make this event possible.
