What we’re about
A group for people looking to make friends, get to know the area, and enjoy Durham. Anyone's welcome to join, we're looking to help people acclimate to the area if you're new and just generally bring people together here in one of the best cities in NC.
We have zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior, comments, and actions. So, if at anytime you feel as though you are being made uncomfortable during our meetups, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Head Organizer, Oscar, or any other event organizer.
We want a welcoming environment for people new in town, local to the area, and people just visiting Durham. Some wise words from some of the founding members:
•"We're looking for some silly gooses"
•"Adventure Spirits: Young Pros Exploring and Imbibing"

Over 5,500 attendees gather to watch teams of artists build furnaces which heat pieces of iron to unfathomable temperatures. All evening and into the night, thousands of pounds of molten iron will be poured into molds in an exciting fiery display, creating iron tiles designed by the public and sculptures made by NC artists. The event will also feature performances, local food trucks, craft beer, art vendors, and opportunities to learn from and engage with this spectacular art form."
