Summer rhythms look a little different for many of us. People travel, schedules shift, and regular groups pause. This year, we want to experiment with a simple way to help our community stay connected.

We are inviting Grove folks to host summer meetups. These are informal gatherings where you invite others from The Grove to join something you are already doing or something simple to organize. Think ice cream at a park, a walk or bike ride, a backyard bonfire, playground meetup, coffee outing, or picnic.

You choose the day, time, and activity. Our hope is that these gatherings are easy, relaxed, and a way to deepen connections across our community.

Each month we will create a calendar of Grove summer happenings that includes these meetups so people can find something that fits their schedule.

Want to host a meetup?

You can submit your gathering at any time using the link below.

To be included in the printed monthly calendar, please submit by:

May 21 for June meetups

June 16 for July meetups

July 14 for August meetups

Submissions received after these dates will still be added to the digital listing.

Thank you for helping cultivate connection and community at The Grove this summer.
