About this Event
Skip the swiping—come meet real, local LGBTQIA+ singles in person! 🔥
If you’re ready to step away from apps and meet people face-to-face, this is your night. Our LGBTQIA+ speed dating event is built for genuine connections—no pressure, no pretense, just great conversation with people who get it. Whether you’re looking for friendship, romance, or simply want to expand your circle, this is a fun, easy way to put yourself out there.
🍸 We’ll kick things off with a casual mixer so you can grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and relax before the dating rounds begin.
💬 Don’t stress about what to say—we’ve got you covered with icebreaker questions for each round. Our energetic host will keep things flowing and make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident.
✨ Expect an upbeat, welcoming vibe filled with laughter and conversation. As the bell rings to end each round, you’ll rotate and meet someone new. It’s fast-paced, social, and designed for authentic, face-to-face connection.
💖 How it works:
✔️ After each chat, mark whether you’d like to connect as friends, dates, or not at all
✔️ If there’s a mutual match, we’ll send contact info the next day
✔️ Prefer pen and paper? We’ve got match cards available too
⏳ Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and settle in. We start promptly, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
🌈 This event is open to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community ages 21+. You might meet people you wouldn’t normally cross paths with—that’s part of what makes it special! The goal is to create real conversations, real chemistry, and real connections.
You’ll walk away with new friends, fun memories, and maybe even a spark with someone special. Because let’s face it—you’re not meeting anyone new by staying home.
