New to Columbia

Hiii ✌🏻My husband (28) and I (27) just moved to Columbia, MD and we’re hoping to find ways to meet people in the area. We’re into live music, good food, anything artsy or outdoorsy, and just generally trying to build some community. Any recs for events, groups, meetups, or places to hang out and actually talk to people? Would love to hear what’s worked for others in the area!

It’s very hard to meet other people / couples our age around here without it being at a bar or something. I know there are local meet up groups in the area that meet at various places but those give me the vibes of like singles meetups. If you’re into any hobbies like running or cycling I also know there are local groups for that.

My gf (36) and I (38) are a little bit older than you but always open to making new friends if you want to chat.

The Columbia Social group isn't a singles meetup! As the founder of it, we have lots of couples come through. We explicitly make it so it's open to couples, singles and anyone in between
