West Suburban Millennials Fun Group

Naperville, IL

Come join one of the largest meetup groups in the Chicago suburbs!

This group is for millennials (people born in the 80s & 90s) who want to take advantage of the best the Western Chicago Suburbs has to offer. This is the perfect group for people who want to have a great time, but don't want to drive to the city to meet new friends. Feel free to suggest activities you are interested in!

If you are anxious about meeting new people, hang in there. It can take a while to feel comfortable around a new group of people. Also, you may want your first event to be in a setting that involves an activity you already enjoy. Although it's great to try new things, you might not want to make it your first meetup. There should hopefully be something for everyone! We look forward to meeting you!

One important request...if you RSVP to an event and cannot make it, the group asks for a courtesy text message, email, or status change on the event site with substantial notice. Some events require a certain number of people for us to receive special discounts. Your cancellation provides the opportunity for your organizers to modify reservations as needed. After 3 no shows with no attempted communication, you will not be able to participate in the group. Your consideration is much appreciated!

Thanks for joining!

If you want to have fun, go places, meet new people and just get out of the house, this group is for you.

The majority of the events will be for the 40+ crowd, but don't let that scare you off. We plan to have a wide variety of low-key events - mostly in DUPAGE COUNTY.

Everyone deserves to be comfortable at our events so anyone who's behavior makes other members of the group uncomfortable will be asked to leave.

Some events will have a small fee to help deter no-shows and last minute cancellations and to help cover the cost of running the group.
