Who’s it for?
Women of ages (20s & 30s) looking to make new local friends — whether you’re new to Charlotte, building your circle, or just craving genuine connections with like-minded women.
Will I be paired with the full age range of the event?
Not necessarily! Your matches are based on your personal preferences, including age, and compatibility factors, not the full event range. We intentionally balance our events by both age and gender, something most other Fast Friends events don’t do, to create better matches and a more enjoyable experience.
RSVP required. 🎟️ Come solo, leave with a whole new group chat!
We are so excited to host you! Learn more on our our social accounts @partyof8_clt and @connectingcharlotte.
