HOW THE EVENT WORKS.
Upon entering, each person chooses a colored name tag to signal their reason for attending:
* RED TAG: Friendship Only. Here to mingle, make new friends, and enjoy the night. No romantic expectations.
* YELLOW TAG: Open to Possibilities. Open to conversation, flirting, or surprises…but taking things as they come.
* GREEN TAG: Seeking a Relationship. Ready to connect, flirt with intention, and see where things go.
The organizers will lead the crowd in series of fun icebreakers to ensure everyone is continuously mixing, mingling, and meeting new people.
Throughout the evening, enjoy free Valentine candies, mocktail drinks, and good music, too.
