Explore Together Series - Make New Friends getting to know Charlotte!

Ready to break out of your routine and discover Charlotte's best-kept secrets? This isn't your typical social event—it's an adventure designed for curious souls who want to explore the unexpected while making genuine connections.

What to Expect: We'll kick off our exploration at The pavilion that has Flowers and Plants (The lone pavilion at the end - Map below), then venture together exploring a variety of stalls. You'll find that the regional farmers market has a lot more than just produce. There are stalls selling coffee, bread, soaps, and many other things. We'll have an easy and fun scavenger hunt meant to help us get to know each other as we explore. After exploring, we'll reconvene at the food tents in the parking area for a chill friendly chat over beverages or snacks.

Perfect for you if:

• You're tired of the same old coffee shop meetups
• You love stumbling upon places that feel like hidden treasures
• You're genuinely excited to meet people who share your sense of adventure
• You believe the best conversations happen when you're discovering something new together

What makes this special: No forced icebreakers or awkward name games. Just authentic connections forming naturally as we explore, laugh, and "ooh and ahh" over unexpected discoveries together. You'll leave with new favorite spots AND new friends who appreciate the joy of exploration.

The Details: 📅 Saturday, October 11 🕕 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM (if you arrive later, look for our group at one of the pavilions)📍 Charlotte Regional Farmers Market 👥 Small group size for meaningful connections
