Meet Your Next Ex (21+ Event)

Coupling up is optional, connections are encouraged.

Designed for singles, couples, and anyone living in the “it’s complicated” category, this is your chance to step into the night, turn up the charm, and see where the evening takes you.

Dress like you are headed to the villa, grab a drink, and explore the zoo after dark as music, entertainment, and unexpected encounters unfold around every corner. Whether you are here to flirt, vibe, or just enjoy the drama from a safe distance, Meet Your Next Ex is all about fun, connection, and letting your WILD side take over.
