About this Event
At Vibrant Life Society, we believe community is built by showing up locally — supporting small businesses, exploring our city together, and creating space for real connection.
This free group meetup at the Winterfest Market is our way of doing exactly that.
We’ll gather at the market, wander together, support local makers, and make meeting new people feel easy and natural. No programming, no pressure — just a shared experience and a welcoming place to start.
Come solo or bring a friend. Either way, you’ll have people to shop with and talk to instead of doing it all alone.

Why Vibrant Life Is Hosting This
Because community doesn’t build itself — it’s built by showing up, supporting local, and doing life together.
And because making friends as an adult shouldn’t feel hard.
