About this Event
Freshly baked pastries, the buzz of vibrant produce stalls, and the easygoing weekend energy of Lake Merritt waiting just around the corner. Spend an hour in quick one-on-one rounds, then gather your favorite people and head straight into the market to pick up treats and walk by the water as a group.
Get ready for an hour of real one-on-one conversations with fellow East Bay locals, smoothly paired up by the app so you always know exactly who you are talking to next. Then comes the best part: you get to pick your favorite people from the rounds and grab bites from the farmers market and stroll around Lake Merritt together. It all happens the same morning, with one shared plan and everyone heading out together.
Just real conversation that turns into a real plan - with people you already vibe with.
By the time you're walking along the lake with your market finds, you're with a crew of locals you actually know. Maybe this becomes your weekend market and lake stroll squad. Maybe it's just a great morning you'll remember. Either way, you're rolling with a crew.
