Harrisonburg Meet Up

Join us for a fun series of Meet Ups events designed to help you connect with new people in a laid-back atmosphere. At least twice a month, we’ll gather at different downtown destinations to enjoy great conversation and friendly vibes.

Whether you’re looking to make new friends or just want to enjoy a change of pace, these events are all about connecting with the people around you while exploring what downtown has to offer. Registration and schedule details will be updated below. Please RSVP and enable notifications to help our business community plan and help us update you about any changes to the program.

We are partnering with the folks at Walkabout Outfitter and Sage Bird Ciderworks to add some activities to the Harrisonburg Meet Up rotation. Join us for a group hike to High Knob in PEAK LEAF COLOR SEASON and a post-hike social at the Sage Bird taproom!
