About this Event
Date Lights
…Finding Love at First Light!
Real People. Authentic Connections. No Swiping.
Date Lights is a refreshing event experience designed for singles and their supportive friends. We’re all about moving away from endless online swiping and bringing people back together — in person, with laughter, energy, and authentic connection.
At each Date Lights event, we create a relaxed, social atmosphere where everyone can meet new people naturally, whether it’s through curated icebreakers, fun games, optional speed dating or simply sharing good conversation, there’s no pressure!
Singles come to spark genuine chemistry, and their friends can come along to cheer them on, join the fun, and maybe even help make a match or two.
NOW FEATURING - MATCH MY MATE, a real-life dating event where friends take the spotlight to pitch their single mates to a room full of potential matches. Expect hilarious presentations, honest recommendations and good vibes. This section will only for people that come with a freind and wish to participate, however everyone can watch and get involoved.
💬 How It Works
